Tomorrow I fly to the Healthy Teen Network Conference in Minneapolis, where I will be receiving the The Carol Mendez Cassell Award for Excellence in Sexuality Education. Looking forward to connecting with all the wonderful folks at the HTN conference.

Not Under My Roof has won the American Sociological Association Children and Youth Section’s 2012 Distinguished Scholarly Research Award!

Recently, I received the exciting news that I was awarded the Healthy Teen Network’s Carol Mendez Cassell Award for Excellence in Sexuality Education, which is “dedicated to promote and reward the application of science in the practice of sexuality education policy and programs:” The Healthy Teen Network describes the award further:

The Carol Mendez Cassell Award recognizes sexuality educators who demonstrate commitment to the application of research in the practice of sexuality education policy and programs. Carol Mendez Cassell, a sexuality educator with more than three decades of directing educational research and prevention programs, offers this award in the belief that an evidence-based approach is essential in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of future sexual health policies and programs.
