Plan Your Health: Live Your Life Booklets: This resource promotes the concept of lifetime health among adolescents. It also focuses on the importance of making a life
plan and deciding whether that plan includes becoming a parent someday or not. Furthermore, this tool outlines many variables
and behaviors that increase the likelihood of having healthy pregnancy outcomes in the future. Whether or not a pregnancy
occurs in the future, adolescents need to be aware that how they treat their body now, can directly affect birth outcomes
down the road. The information provided in this tool empowers adolescents with the knowledge they need to make wise decisions
about their health, life goals and reproductive future. Limited copies of this resource are available free of charge to Utah
