Sometimes, after years of work on a project, you just have to cross your fingers and hope the data does the talking. We couldn't be more proud to share this publication from the Journal of Youth and Adolescence that shows that Media Aware Parent WORKS! https://t.co/TAR0NYDZyE

This report, from the UK's Parliamentary Group on Literacy, is a fascinating read. It has useful definitions of fake news and several ways we can teach children to differentiate good and bad sources. Most important? More #MediaLiteracy programs in schools!

“I learned that people my age are not as sexually active as I thought they were, which makes me feel better about my own situation.”
Media depicts #college students as far more sexually active than they are in real life. How does #media affect other# perceptions? #MediaAware

#Media Aware uses #interactive, online #learning to provide your students with standardized, comprehensive, and engaging sexual #health #education to prevent two key obstacles to college success: unintended pregnancy and sexual #assault. https://t.co/NjST3cYHol
