Study Summary
In Zambia, 13% of the 15 to 49 year old population lives with HIV. The highest number of new HIV infections is among young people. To counter the spread of the disease, developmental and governmental actors are increasingly relying on educational behavior change tools. A particularly widely used tool, implemented by the German Development Corporation (henceforth, GIZ), is the so-called "Join-In-Circuit on AIDS, Love Sexuality" (JIC). The tool aims to improve a) HIV and sexual reproductive health knowledge, b) HIV testing uptake, and c) demand for health services. Previous research has investigated the direct effect of the JIC on knowledge about Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) as well as self-reported sexual behavior in Zimbabwe, and has found positive effects in both domains. The research project evaluates the JIC in Zambia. The study randomly assigns 170 participating schools to five different JIC treatment arms. The first two arms represent control schools. Here, no JIC will be implemented. The third arm implements the JIC among a random subset of students. The fourth arm implements the JIC among indegree central students. The fifth arm implements the JIC among edge betweeness central students. In each school, the JIC will be implemented in one pre-determined grade. Within each school at least 30 students will be selected. For larger schools, 20 percent of students in the selected grade are selected.
Primary Outcome
The investigators created an overall index that standardizes the outcome variables, which is split into a knowledge index and a self-reported behavior. This index will be constructed from a battery of survey items pertaining to knowledge about condoms, HIV/Aids and other STIs.
