Translation may seem like an obvious first step, but should be undertaken cautiously. Be sure you have the program services or referrals to back up the implicit promise of print materials in another language. Furthermore, a good translation is hard to achieve.

If at all possible, avoid translation altogether, by developing materials from scratch with members of the community | 3 Y luthNet Youth Issues Paper 3 Teacher Training Essential for School-Based Reproductive Health and HIV AlDS Education Focus on Sub-Saharan Africa Tijuana A.
