Prevention Research Centers                                    

The Johns Hopkins Center for Adolescent Health is one of the 26 academic research centers that comprise the Prevention Research Centers (PRCs) Program.

The PRC Program is a national network of academic, community, and public health partners that (1) conducts applied public health research and (2) promotes the wide use of practices proven to promote good health. The PRC Program is supported by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CA# 1U48DP005045-01). Learn more about the PRC Program on the CDC website.

CDC funding provides support for community outreach, community-initiated evaluation projects, community-based educational activities, student training, and for our CORE research project titled Integrating Age Appropriate Reproductive Health into Schools.
