More Details

The study investigated qualitatively the existing information, education and communication strategies regarding adolescent sexuality within and outside the health service to develop improved implementation of IEC-strategies and health service delivery in co-operation with the relevant stakeholders.

Although it can be argued that this study did not generate any new information on adolescents with regard to their sexual behaviour and the current IECS, it does indicate that little progress has been made especially in terms of preventing HIV-infection through sustainable healthy behaviours as confirmed by the Department of Health (Ntsaluba & Pillay, 1998). However, the data clearly suggest opportunities for interventions.
