“…Educational programs that use game-based learning and gamification can also improve sexual health conditions among adolescent students [17]. The findings from this study indicate that students with a greater number of information sources had better awareness of contraceptive methods, but they had an adverse level of perception of HIV/AIDS risk.…”

Background To assess awareness of contraceptive methods, understanding of HIV/AIDS prevention and perception of HIV risk among secondary school students in Tanzania. Methods An anonymous self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted among secondary school students in 2017 in Tanzania. The questionnaire included sociodemographic characteristics, awareness of contraceptive methods, understanding of HIV/AIDS prevention and perception of HIV/AIDS risk. Three secondary schools in Dar es Salaam were selected considering gender balance and location, which included urban and surrounding areas. After the research objectives, methods and ethical considerations were explained, the students voluntarily completed and submitted the questionnaire in the designated place. Submission of the questionnaire was considered agreement to participate in the study. Results A total of 233 responses were collected, and 204 responses were valid for the analysis. The mean and standard deviation of age were 18.5 ± 1.0. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient between understanding of HIV/AIDS prevention and perception of HIV/AIDS risk was ρ=0.184 (P=0.036). However, there was no correlation between awareness of contraceptive methods and understanding of HIV/AIDS prevention (ρ=0.019, P=0.782) or perception of HIV/AIDS risk (ρ=-0.138 P=0.116). Regardless of gender, age, religion, and major course of study, mother’s educational status (β=0.150, P=0.031 and β=0.232, P=0.034, respectively) and the number of information sources (β=0.584, P<0.001 and β=-0.311, P=0.006, respectively) demonstrated associations with awareness of contraceptive methods and perception of HIV/AIDS risk. Respondents who lived outside of a dormitory (β=0.295, P=0.001) and currently had a partner (β=0.243, P=0.009) demonstrated a higher understanding of HIV/AIDS prevention regardless of gender, age, religion, and major course of study. Conclusions The factors associated with awareness of contraceptive methods, understanding of HIV/AIDS prevention and perception of HIV/AIDS risk were not consistent. To improve awareness of contraceptive methods, understanding of HIV/AIDS prevention and perception of HIV/AIDS risk among secondary school students, educational programs should be integrated and holistically provided as sexual health education.

Background: Adolescence is a transition period between childhood and adulthood when physical, cognitive, social and emotional maturity grow rapidly to prepare for being adult men and women. The most common problem for existing adolescence is reproductive health problems. The effective method is needed to convey information about reproductive health to adolescents like using smartphone. Objective: to find out the intervention and benefits of using smartphone for serving adolescent reproductive health information. Methods: literature review using Scopus, Ebsco, Science Direct, and Proquest databases from 2012-2019. Results: 17 articles related to the using of smartphones for serving information about adolescent reproductive health. Conclusion: Information about reproductive health through using smartphone can be effectively in increasing adolescent knowledge, attitudes, motivation, and self-efficacy related to reproductive health and highly motivating adolescents to participate on HIV and STI examinations. Information service using smartphones will be highly recommended for teens get information about health reproduction Keywords: smartphone; health Information; reproduction; adolescent ABSTRAK Latar berlakang: Masa remaja merupakan suatu periode transisi antara masa kanak-kanak dan masa dewasa, merupakan waktu kematangan fisik, kognitif, sosial dan emosional yang cepat untuk mempersiapkan diri menjadi laki-laki dan perempuan dewasa.

Background Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), aged 15–24 years, are disproportionately affected by HIV and other sexual and reproductive health (SRH) risks due to varying social, cultural, and economic factors that affect their choices and shape their knowledge, understanding, and practices with regard to their health. Socio‐Behavioral Change Communication (SBCC) interventions targeted at strengthening the capabilities of individuals and their networks have supported the demand and uptake of prevention services and participation in biomedical research. However, despite growing global recognition of the domain, high‐quality evidence on the effectiveness of SBCC remains scattered. This evidence and gap map (EGM) report characterizes the evidence base on SBCC interventions for strengthening HIV Prevention and Research among AGYW in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), identifying evidence gaps and outlining the scope of future research and program design. Objectives The objectives of the proposed EGM are to: (a) identify and map existing EGMs in the use of diverse SBCC strategies to strengthen the adoption of HIV prevention measures and participation in research among AGYW in LMICs and (b) identify areas where more interventions and evidence are needed to inform the design of future SBCC strategies and programs for AGYW engagement in HIV prevention and research. Methods This EGM is based on a comprehensive search of systematic reviews and impact evaluations corresponding to a range of interventions and outcomes—aimed at engaging AGYW in HIV prevention and research ‐ that were published in LMICs from January 2000 to April 2021. Based on guidance for producing a Campbell Collaboration EGM, the intervention and outcome framework was designed in consultation with a group of experts. These interventions were categorized across four broad intervention themes: mass‐media, community‐based, interpersonal, and Information Communication and Technology (ICT)/Digital Media‐based interventions. They were further sub‐categorized into 15 intervention categories. Included studies looked at 23 unique behavioral and health outcomes such as knowledge attitude and skills, relationship dynamics, household dynamics, health care services, and health outcomes and research engagement. The EGM is presented as a matrix in which the rows are intervention categories/sub‐categories, and the columns are outcome domains/subdomains. Each cell is mapped to an intervention targeted at outcomes. Additional filters like region, country, study design, age group, funding agency, influencers, population group, publication status, study confidence, setting, and year of publication have been added. Selection Criteria To be eligible, studies must have tested the effectiveness of SBCC interventions at engaging AGYW in LMICs in HIV prevention and research. The study sample must have consisted of AGYW between the ages of 15–24, as defined by UNAIDS. Both experimental (random assignment) and quasi‐experimental studies that included a compariso...
