Del corazón de los jóvenes: What Latino teens are saying about love and relationships (2008)
Rarely are teens themselves asked to share their thoughts and beliefs about issues that affect them. Del corazón de los jóvenes—which in English roughly translates to “youth speak from the heart”—gives both teens and parents a snapshot of what Latino teens themselves say about relationships. This document is based on findings from a nationally-representative survey of Latino teens and adults, focus groups with Latino teens, and research previously published by The National Campaign.

It's a Guy Thing: Boys, Young Men, and Teen Pregnancy Prevention (2006)
Although girls have traditionally been the major focus of efforts to prevent teen pregnancy, the importance of targeting teen boys and young men is increasingly apparent to researchers, practitioners, parents, and others who work with youth. One of the many reasons for this new focus is that the substantial reductions in teen pregnancy and birth rates in recent years can be attributed, in part, to dramatic shifts in the sexual behavior of boys.

That's What He Said: What Guys Think About Sex, Love, Contraception, and Relationships (2010)
To date, much of the research on teen and unplanned pregnancy—its causes and remedies—has focused on girls and women. But the nearly 1.5 million teen girls and single women in their early 20s who find themselves unintentionally pregnant every year don’t get there by themselves. The National Campaign partnered with Seventeen magazine to better understand what guys think about these issues.

Toward a Common Future: Latino Teens and Adults Speak Out About Teen Pregnancy (2009)
Given the high rates of Latina teen pregnancy and the incredible diversity of the Latino community, many researchers and service providers have identified a need for more specific information on the many subgroups that compose the Latino population to better address the needs of the community. For this and other reasons, The National Campaign and the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) commissioned this nationally representative survey of Latino youth and adults.
