Our Funding
The Office of Population Affairs cooperative agreement Advancing Equity in Adolescent Health through Evidence-Based Teen Pregnancy Prevention Programs and Services was awarded to the Center for Health Policy and Inequalities Research (CHPIR) at Duke University in June 2023.
​This project will focus on building relationships across the region, informing ENC constituents (i.e. community stakeholders, parents/trusted adults, and youth) about this project. ENC-HEAL will also focus on expanding positive youth development with a focus in sexual health education, promoting teen pregnancy prevention and overall health equity for adolescents across Eastern North Carolina. ​​​​​
