Implementation experience and program management

This module contains resources for implementing reproductive health interventions aimed at adolescents and is available in the form of manuals, guides, checklists and examples of country implementation experience. Data at the national level show that continued investment in effective strategies and programming for prevention and treatment is essential to improve the sexual and reproductive health of adolescents. The strategies must be adapted to the development needs of this age group and their social contexts.

Educational materials

It is important that SRH education for adolescents provide correct and comprehensive information, while developing skills to negotiate sexual behaviors. Educational materials and activities must be creative in the way they reach adolescent populations, creating a positive learning environment. The materials included in this module are a flip chart that describes information on family planning and a game that facilitates learning about SRH.

Training

Due to the complexity and sensitivity of providing SRH care to adolescents, health providers must be trained not only to provide correct and balanced information about the use of contraceptives and the correct use of condoms, but also about healthy sexuality, avoiding stigmas, and prejudices. The available training resources are manuals and self-learning modules on how to work better with adolescents given their biological development, cultural context, and vulnerabilities.
