<p class="MsoNormal">In Nevada we require parent/guardian consent forms for PREP programming. One of our health educators is wondering what to do if homeless youth are willing to attend classes, but do not have a parent or guardian to sign for them. Have
any other states encountered this?<o:p></o:p></p>
