Now available from the Seattle-King Co. Dept. of Public Health... TRUE STORIES A computer-based health education program on communication skills and STD prevention for ages 12-16. TRUE STORIES is an innovative approach to promoting effective communication among young people.

TRUE STORIES has been reviewed and approved by the Washington State Department of Health as a supplement to certified health-education curricula on HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. The TRUE STORIES program together with a complete Teacher's Guide, is now available for either IBM compatible or Apple Macintosh systems. TRUE STORIES requires either an IBM PC or compatible system with 512K RAM and a color monitor and graphics adaptor, or an Apple Macintosh MacPlus, Classic, SE, LC, or MacII series computer with 1MB RAM.
