Abstract

This review draws from published research related to the best practices for the utilization of teens as teachers to examine Choose Health Action Teens (CHAT), a teen’s as teachers (TAT) training curriculum.  Research shows that there are various components necessary to build a high quality TAT program.  Most of these components fall under four areas in which training is necessary for teens and adults: Teaching strategies, youth/child development, subject matter to be taught, and youth-adult partnerships.  These four areas provide a framework to review the Choose Health Action Teens (CHAT) (Crosiar & Wolfe, 2013) teens as teachers training program curriculum.
