Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention

The ATWA LSE program will be implemented following a joint curricula development process with approval from the government in each of the three countries. The 'dose' of the intervention are once-weekly hour-long sessions for both in-school adolescents (session facilitated by teachers) and out-of-school adolescents (sessions facilitated by community leaders) over the course of the academic year (roughly 9 months), or roughly 30 sessions of exposure to the in-depth LSE curriculum.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ATWA

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The Adolescent Transition in West Africa (ATWA) program is an in-school (Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso) and out-of-school (Niger and Mali) educational intervention implemented by local staff members at Save the Children, local community members, and teachers. ATWA provides internationally-recognized life skills education (LSE) to adolescents ages 10-19 years, and seeks to improve adolescents' knowledge and behaviors regarding sexual and reproductive health and rights. Outcome indicators to assess knowledge, behavior and attitudes of adolescents will vary by adolescent demographics as well as by country context, as based on the final set of curriculum deemed appropriate by the respective Ministries of Education (MOE).

Control

Control groups are comprised of adolescents (10-19) attending schools where the ATWA Life Skills Education (LSE) program has not been implemented, as well as out-of-school adolescents (10-19) who have not received the ATWA LSE program in their communities. Control groups receive "standard of care" educational opportunities. "Standard of care" in the case of this trial translate to the provision of standard Ministry of Education-sanctioned sexuality education, as already available in the adolescents' schools and communities.
