Stop and Think is an abstinence education program that began in Lane County in 1990. In 2000 Stop and Think began offering its classroom presentation throughout Oregon. More recently the curriculum has been adapted for implementation throughout the United States. Stop and Think focuses on three critical thinking skills, with an emphasis on the freedom that can be gained through self-control. Stop and Think helps students think critically by addressing media and social influences, life, character, and relationship goals, the implications of sexual decisions, the benefits of abstinence, and refusal skills.

Presentations are offered at no cost in most places across Oregon.

• Stop and Think presents to 7-12 grade students.
• Stop and Think can be given in 2-6 classroom sessions.

• In September 2004 Stop and Think will debut Stop and Think: The Redux, which is specifically designed for high school students.
