Maryland’s Department of Health is seeking a firm to develop a print and media campaign “focused on sexual risk reduction education” targeted at young people aged 10-19.

The goal, according to the RFP, is to reduce unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections with a primary focus on abstinence from sexual intercouse as the preferred prevention method.

The selected firm will create customizable, age-appropriate media for use on websites and hard copies that may be distributed in schools and community events.

The campaign requires materials to educate parents and caregivers about youth-focused sexual risk avoidance approaches.

The DOH’s Prevention and Health Promotion Administration has budgeted $50K for the push that will begin March 1 and run through September.

Proposals are due Jan. 25. They go to Dana Wright at [email protected] with PHPA 1726/BPM027363 as the subject line.
