“…Teen birth rates have hit an all-time low for the United States as a country (Guttmacher Institute, 2016), yet disparities remain as demographic groups and geographic regions have teen birth rates that far exceed the national rate (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2019; Martin et al, 2018;Hamilton et al, 2017Hamilton et al, , 2016Sedlak & Bruce, 2010). Specifically, rural communities experience higher rates of teen pregnancy and birth (31 births per 1000 females (ages 15 -19) compared to urban communities with 19 births per 1000 females) (Hamilton et al, 2016;Hamilton et al, 2017;Wuerch et al, 2019;Zaban et al, 2018). Such disparities are not surprising as many current evidence-based prevention programs target larger populations to produce a larger impact.…”

While teen birth rates are at an all-time low for the United States, teen pregnancy remains a public health concern as significant disparities remain among demographic groups and geographical regions. There are 40+ evidence-based programs (EBPs) available, yet few exist for rural populations. This article describes how through a community-academic partnership, a community-based organization (CBO) in a rural town of North Carolina developed an innovative teen pregnancy prevention, game-based learning program for youth, Using The Connect (UTC) through a human-centered design (HCD) approach. The final program entailed a set of educational games focused on: adolescent growth and development, communication, decision-making, facilitating safe connections between youth and adults in their community, and accessing information. This manuscript describes the program development process, explains how youth voice was incorporated through HCD strategies, describes results from usability testing of the prototypes, and lessons learned for program development.

“…Some of these studies have focused on effectiveness analysis by adopting quantitative or qualitative designs to assess the effects or impact of interventions on bene ciaries [4,5,[7][8][9][10][11][12]. Other studies have focused on the critical nodes of the implementation process, i.e., the design, implementation and effects or impact of an intervention [13][14][15][16][17]. However, very few studies exist that have provided a historical overview of the interventions implemented and the pro le of the key players in the eld of adolescent sexual and reproductive health.…”

“…Other studies, on the other hand, have examined the effects of the context and the interactions between the players that emerge during the implementation of interventions [14,15]. The studies reviewed adopted qualitative or mixed designs, but most were limited to purely descriptive analyses [13][14][15][16][17][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. However, very few of the studies identi ed and examined in our literature review analysed the history of ASRH interventions or mapped the actors involved in the process of developing and implementing these interventions.…”

Background In many developing countries such as Niger, a variety of interventions have been implemented to improve adolescent sexual and reproductive health. Nevertheless, the reality is that the levels of adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) indicators remain critical in these countries. Unfortunately, very few studies have examined the reasons why these interventions fail. This study aimed to improve the knowledge on this topic. Specifically, it described the history of ASRH interventions and examined the profile of the actors who contributed to the emergence of these interventions in Niger. Methods A literature review was first conducted covering the period 1975–2021. Then, individual interviews were conducted with 46 actors involved in the process of designing, financing, and implementing ASRH interventions in Niger. For the data analysis, a descriptive historical approach was carried out using an analysis grid to exploit the information collected. Qualitative data were transcribed and coded using Nvivo 12 software, and a content analysis was carried out. Conclusion Several interventions have been implemented to improve the sexual and reproductive health of adolescents in Niger since 1994, but their impact is questionable.
