Program deters girls from premature sex
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A new study shows that teen pregnancy can be reduced significantly with a program aimed at building girls' assertiveness and at motivating them to avoid pregnancy.
A report by Girls Inc., a leading youth organization, based its conclusions on a three-year study involving 750 girls between the ages of 12 and 17 who participated in the educational programs.
Rep. Patricia Schroeder, D-Dola-sa,
"The (program) can enable girls
and young women to get through their
teen years without prepreg-
nant."
The study was conducted at Girls Inc. affiliates in Dallas, Memphis, Temu, Omaha, Neb., and Wilmington, Md., to assess the average risk of becoming pregnant.
"If you look at the magazine ads or at television, we are a culture that promotes the wonderfulness of sex," said Healthier Johnston Nicholson, who works for The Girdles that Girls Inc. does is teach (teen-agents) to work through those messages."
Of the girls between the ages of 12 and 14 who participated in a part of the program designed to promote parent-education activities, half were posed of delaying sexual activity, half
weras as likely to have sexual inter-
course, who did not participate in the program.
Another program for girls between the ages of 12 and 14 taught assertiveness skills, including saying 'no' while remaining popular with peers of both sexes. In this group, the girls also were half as likely to have sexual intercourse for the first time as girls who did not participate.
A program for girls between the ages of 15 and 17 is designed to motivate girls to avoid pregnancy by helping them to set educational and career goals. It also helps as well as make responsible decisions about sex and contraception. The girls
in this group reported having sex without birth control about half as often as girls who did not participate.
The fourth component of the program, aimed at older teens, teaches the girls about reproductive health services, and researchers found that these girls were one-third as likely to have birth control as non-participants.
Girls Inc. estimated that its 200 affiliates in 120 cities could provide all four components of the program for $116 a year per girl. By comparison, the federal government will spend more than $6 billion from 1989 to 2009 to support the families of teens who had babies in 1989, the report said.
IBM, Apple Computer announce details of technology alliance
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Yesterday, Apple Computer Inc. and IBM Corp. announced details of their technology-sharing alliance that started the computer industry when it was disclosed three months ago.
"The second decade of personal computing begins today," said IBM Chairman John F. Akers, IBM introduced its first personal computer in 1981, though Apple had one on the market four years earlier.
"These agreements are the foundation for a renaissance," said John Sculley, Apple's chairman and chief executive officer. Sculley was referring to a slump in the computer industry that hurt both companies.
Under the agreement, Apple and IBM will make it easier for their computers to be linked in networks and to communicate with each other. Produced make this possible will be available as December, the companies said.
They also will produce new computer operating system software that will work on both companies' high-powered desktop computers called workstations. An operating system is the software that controls this new software will be available in two to three years, the companies said.
In addition, they will form a joint venture to develop technology for multimedia computers, or those that mix sound, text, graphics and video.
As part of the agreement, Apple and IBM have cross-licensed various technologies to each other. For example, IBM is allowed to give its computer screens the graphics of Apple's Macintosh, and it is claimed for its easy-to-use features.
IBM and Apple announced July 3 they had signed a letter of intent to cooperate on personal computer technology. The announcement was considered startling because the two had been such bitter competitors.
