ELAYO: Empower Latino youth is currently disseminating an online survey for Latino youth living in California. In addition to the focus groups and interviews
already conducted, the online survey will help to better understand the individual and systemic factors that influence Latino/a youth sexuality and increase our understanding of how Latino/a youth balance competing messages about sex, relationships, pregnancy,
parenting, and education.
Latino youth aged 14-18 who live in California are eligible to take the survey. Parental consent is not required for Latino youth to participate in the survey and the confidentiality of participants is protected. Latino youth who choose to take the survey will receive a $10 iTunes gift card and be entered in a raffle to win an iPod Nano. The survey can be found online at: www.ELAYO.net (flyers attached)
