Risk Information - Teen Pregnancy Reduced 28%

Strategy researched Providing information on the relative risk of HIV infection by partner’s age Impact achieved Country of study Kenya Research methodology RCT with 328 primary schools Journal Journal paper title and link Excerpt from Abstract "Providing information on the relative risk of HIV infection by partner's age led to a 28 percent decrease in teen pregnancy, an objective proxy for the incidence of unprotected sex. Self-reported sexual behavior data suggests substitution away from older (riskier) partners and toward same-age partners. In contrast, the official abstinence-only HIV curriculum had no impact on teen pregnancy." |
