Good morning to both of you, and thank you for joining us here today.
As a mom—I have two young teenagers—this is certainly something that hits home for me. I'd like to speak specifically about our teenagers, who are growing up in a very different context than any generations have before. For example, we have smaller families. They are definitely much more digitally connected, and they are less likely to use contraception and also less likely to be married before the age of 18, so a lot has changed over the generations.
Conversations about menstrual hygiene and health, HIV, sexually transmitted infections and intimate partner violence are all very concerning. I'm thankful that I have a very open relationship and conversation with my children, but a lot of people do not.
What efforts or actions are needed to build on the progress and efforts that have been made over the last several years?
