Teen Pregnancy Prevention
LinkedUp at Teen Health Mississippi
LinkedUp’s overall goal is to reduce unintended pregnancies among older teens (ages 18-19) by increasing the contraceptive coverage of teens transitioning out of care from a school-based health clinic (SBHC) or mobile school-based clinic (MSBC) to a community college after leaving high school.

Open to males and females between the ages of 13 and 21, teens participate in group educational sessions on preventing teen pregnancy, STDs, and HIV, and see one of our OB-GYNs to discuss individual sexual and reproductive health issues and needs.
