Choice A reason: Developing objectives is important but should be based on the needs and knowledge gaps identified through community data.

Choice B reason: Involving community leaders is a crucial step, but it should be informed by an understanding of the community's specific needs and preferences.

Choice C reason: Researching the literature is necessary to ensure evidence-based practice, but it should be tailored to address the specific issues identified in the community.

Choice D reason: Gathering data from the community is the first step in understanding the prevalence of STIs, risk factors, and the level of knowledge among adolescents, which will inform all other steps in the program development.

Choice A reason: This question is relevant as it helps to assess the risk factors associated with different types of sexual activities and the potential exposure to STIs.
