1. This pilot study evaluated a 15-session classroom intervention for HIV and pregnancy prevention
2. Subjects: 8–10 boys and girls (aged 14–17 years) in rural South Africa
3. Methods: guided by gender-empowerment theory and implemented by teachers, nurses, and youth peer educators.
Pre- and post-intervention surveys included 933 male and female students in two intervention and two comparison schools.
4. Results: The main outcome was condom use at last sex; secondary outcomes were partner communication, gender beliefs and values, perceived peer behaviors, and self-efficacy for safer sex.
At 5 months post-intervention, change in condom use did not differ between intervention and comparison schools. Intervention school youth had greater increases in self-efficacy for unsafe sex refusal
