 4parents.gov – it is with great hesitation that we are putting this website here, but, since you may stumble on it we want you to know what we think. The material for the website was originally developed by the Department of Health and Human Services during the Bush administration to provide parents with resources to talk with their children, and, as with other programs during that time, the material is based on a specific set of values, rather than being comprehensive. It does have some basic information on contraception and STDs (in table format). There are, however, definite medical errors (that have not been corrected, even after they received information of them). We hope that during the new leadership of the department the site will improve.
