Federal funding for evidence-based interventions (EBIs) aimed at reducing unplanned pregnancy, STDs, and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) became more readily available under the Obama administration, which allowed for greater implementation of these comprehensive sex education programs nationwide. Due to limited research on teachers' experiences using these EBIs in schools, the goal of this study was to examine teachers' perceptions of implementing two EBIs, Making Proud Choices! (MPC) and Be Proud! Be Responsible! (BPBR), in schools throughout the state of Delaware. This study explored teachers' self-described experiences, perceptions of support and challenges, and attitudes and beliefs related to the implementation of these programs, including how these programs were used within a broader comprehensive sexuality education framework. This study utilized a sequential mixed methods design based on survey and interview data. The findings highlight the important role that EBIs can play within school-based sexuality education, and the need for school and community support for these programs. Teachers held very positive attitudes about the curricula, and reported teaching more sexuality topics in their classes with the use of MPC and BPBR. Teachers also actively addressed limitations of the curricula by adapting them and supplementing them with additional sexuality topics and resources. The findings of this study reinforce the need for ongoing teacher training and support, flexibility in using EBIs in schools, and more sexuality topics to be taught consistently within school-based sexuality education.
