Madagascar Youth Program Motivates Healthy Behavior
---------------------------------------------------

A new Research Brief published by Population Services Interna-
tional examines survey analysis of PSI/Madagascar's TOP Réseau
adolescent reproductive health program and reveals an increase
in healthy behavior during the PSI intervention period. Youth
exposed to the PSI program were more likely to know where to
find family planning services or sexually-transmitted infection
(STI) treatment, to correctly identify STI symptoms and to have
used a condom.

PSI's Research Brief "Franchised Youth Clinics Motivate Behavior
Change in Madagascar" provides a summary of the survey results
and offers a lessons learned section. The Research Brief avail-
able online at http://www.psi.org/resources/rb4.html
