I see a trend. Our kids are getting into trouble and going to jail. Sixty-five percent of the county budget goes to jail and rehab, and that's fine, but only 16 percent of our budget goes to prevention programs.

If churches can take ownership of HIV prevention and embrace a dialogue with youth and young adults, then we will see this pandemic begin to turn around.

The control part, we've got a pretty good handle on. What we don't have a handle on is prevention. You've got a whole hell of a lot of kids in this town that don't have a lot of constructive things in their lives.

Just like how the correct and consistent use of condoms is the most basic HIV prevention approach, it is also important for us to be correct and consistent in spreading the information that is necessary in battling HIV/AIDS. Working with MTV has allowed us to educate the youth market and let them know that condom use is the most important step in preventing HIV infection. Because condoms have become an important necessity, Frenzy is committed to ensuring that our products are reasonably priced and readily available to the public.

The funding for anti-smoking media campaigns has been greatly slashed in almost every state that has had such a campaign. The campaign in Massachusetts has been completely eliminated. The campaign in Florida was all but eliminated. With the limited funding available, I think groups running these campaigns have chosen to focus on smoking prevention and cessation and haven't had the funds to have the 'luxury' of addressing the secondhand smoke issue.

I just think it's an ounce of prevention. It's not that much money and it would be peace of mind for people. Three hundred dollars versus everything that you own. Who wants to risk that?

Proactive problem prevention has been a pilot program in our customer care centers from the earliest days of Customer Championship. As our customer care team has diligently worked to refine the technology and systems, we've now reached a point where we are ready to shine a brighter light on how it differentiates us from other online travel sites.

We will invest in companies developing fundamentally new platforms for detection, prevention and treatment of global, pathogenic infectious diseases. More than 15 million people worldwide die each year from infectious diseases. Over one third of the world's population lacks access to essential drugs. This new fund addresses the immediate requirement for the science, pharmaceutical, and government sectors to close significant gaps in global public health preparedness.

Just building a house, just going into a community and trying to figure out what the problems are, that doesn't really have anything to do with crime prevention. What it has to do is building a trust between the agency and the community.

We launched the campaigns for several reasons. First, to educate the public on the importance of comprehensive sex education, which includes information about both abstinence and contraception. Secondly, to affect policy change; specifically, increase Senate support for the REAL Act, and increase Senate and general House support for global funding of comprehensive HIV prevention education. And finally, to build capacity among young organizers to advocate on their own behalf.

Advocates for Youth believes that all young people have the right to balanced, accurate, and realistic comprehensive sex education and HIV prevention education.

The Fix the Gap campaign is beginning with an educational focus. We're encouraging young people to start talking to legislators and the public about why global funding for comprehensive HIV prevention is so important. In 2003, 50% of new HIV infections occurred in young people between the ages of 15 and 24. Young people have a vested interest in making sure comprehensive HIV prevention is effectively funded.

It was given to 29 colleges and organizations around the country to really do some work on suicide prevention. [Suicide] is really not recognized as a public problem. This is really the first concentrated effort of the federal government addressing it and trying to prevent it.

It is very important for us to get the community involved in suicide prevention. Eighty percent don't have professional help who commit suicide. We can't do it ourselves. We have to listen to them, give them help, and let the community know how to ask someone if they are suicidal.

Until recently, alcoholism among women was largely an invisible issue. The negative stigma of chemically-dependent women has kept them from treatment, intervention and prevention.
