Pictures from the Capitol Hill Forum on Parent Power

Results from a survey of adolescents aged 12-19 and a new publication -- Parent Power: What Parents Need to Know and Do to Help Prevent Teen Pregnancy -- were released at a Capitol Hill forum on September 30, 2003. The event featured a panel discussion about the critical role that parents play in helping their children make good decisions about sex, love, and relationships.

Event panelists represented a wide variety of perspectives, including research, the entertainment media, parents, policymakers, business, and teens themselves. Pictures of many of the panelists are posted below.
