CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Department of Public Health kicked off a series of teen summits on reproductive health on March 5, with health department data indicating a rise in sexually transmitted infections since 2017.
“It’s very important to address it now because teens they go on false information, they go off on myths," Johnson-Brooks said. “We want them to be protected, we want want them to know the risk of acquiring an STI and the risk of pregnancy, we let them know that you have to be responsible." "If they want to go to medical school, they want to go to college, how is this going to work, when they see it tangibly written out that goal, we start that conversation that it’s not easy to raise a child alone.”
