Abstract
What kinds of programs work in their attempts to promote youth reproductive health and HIV prevention? What factors make some programs successful and others less so? This document reports on programs that have helped young people in developing countries practice healthier behaviours, including delaying sexual debut, reducing the number of sexual partners, and increasing the use of methods for preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS. It highlights results from 39 evaluations of program interventions for youth in developing countries, which the FOCUS on Young Adults programme has identified as having sound methodology and important results.
