Madagascar (2006): HIV/AIDS TRaC Study Evaluating HIV Risk Behaviors among Youth (15-24 Years) Second Round

During the last quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, Population Services International Madagascar (PSI/M) conducted a household survey to assess selected reproductive health indicators for a representative sample of 15 to 24 year old youth. The 2006 survey was a follow-up to the reproductive health KAP survey conducted in late 2003. The 2006 survey followed a revised methodology called TRaC (tracking results continuously). The objective of the 2006 TRaC was to compare results with those from the 2003 KAP for four Top Reseau sites included in both surveys, of a variety of indicators. Those indicators found to be significant drivers of desired behaviour will subsequently be addressed through communication and other social marketing interventions. This report presents identified behavioral determinants of condom use. It gives evidence of the impact of the program's communication activities (as measured through exposure to activities) and provides guidance for future interventions.
