<mods:abstract>BE REAL about Health is a community outreach program, in which medical students
teach a condensed health curriculum at the Rhode Island Training School, the site of
incarcerated youth in Rhode Island. While other high school students are receiving formalized
health education, incarcerated youth receive little, if any. It is our mission to empower
adjudicated adolescents to make informed decisions through interactive, discussion-based
health education. In order to address the needs of this specific population, BE REAL about
Health discusses the following topics with the number of sessions allocated in parentheses:
sexual education (5), mental health literacy (1), sleep hygiene (2), nutrition (1) and
exercise (1). The program consists of 10 consecutive weeks, with 45 minute sessions. Two
medical student facilitators are assigned to a unit of 6-8 adjudicated youth and form
longitudinal relationships with them throughout the program. The efficacy of the program will
be determined by analysis of differences between the pre-assessment and post-assessment, as
well as post-lesson evaluations. In the future, a tool will be implemented to assess how
attitudes and perspectives of medical students towards incarcerated youth have changed over
time, as the experience equally impacts the facilitators in addition to the
youth</mods:abstract>
