In Our Own Words: Teens and AIDS
"If you're a teacher, you're a principal, you're a superintendent, this is a video you should get for your schools ... You can save a lot of kids." Oprah Winfrey "...In Our Own Words: Teens and AIDS is right on target for young people - dramatic enough to hold their attention, realistic enough to be absolutely believable. The medical information is sound and right on target." Dr. Timothy Johnson, Medical Editor, ABC News "... one of the best and most powerful videos that I have seen in all my years working in HIV/AIDS education! Pedro Zamora's message will definitely get to the heart of Hispanic youth. The video is excellent as a trigger to engage any group of adolescents in a dialogue about HIV/AIDS." Ledia I. Martinez, M.D., M.P.H., Hispanic HIV/AIDS Education, American Red Cross "In Our Own Words: Teens and AIDS is a powerful video. It can help students realize that other young people like themselves have contracted HIV. An important component in a larger HIV prevention program for adolescents." Doug Kirby, Research Director, ETR Associates "This video is the best I've seen of the videos that most educators use to help adolescents perceive the very real threat of HIV infection for people their age. It is emotionally very powerful and compelling." Patricia Nichols, Supervisor Comprehensive Programs in Health/Early Childhood, Michigan Department of Education "In Our Own Words: Teens and AIDS is a remarkable tool to use in prevention education. The stories of five young adults is a poignant testimony to HIV's impact on us all. A clear, sensitive portrayal that dispels myths, misconceptions, acknowledges the fear that teens face, but most importantly engenders a feeling of hope to its observers." Elizabeth R. Woods, MD, MPH, Director, Children's Hospital Boston Read what teens are saying: Dear Parent's of Pedro Dear Antigone Dear Veronica's Family Dear Veronica's Family 2 How people use it: Integrated into the HIV/AIDS curriculum of more than 20,000 U.S. middle and high schools.
