Communication strategies for youth around HIV/AIDS

Reprinted courtesy of IRIN PlusNews 15 March 2002
In a 23-country study among children whose homes had electricity, over 90 percent watched an average of three hours of television per day. In virtually all developing countries, most young women have regular access to television and radio. Experience shows that the most effective communication programmes involve both mass media and face-to-face communication such as peer education in small groups.

JHU/CCPs Population Report - 'Youth & HIV/AIDS: Can We Avoid Catastrophe?' examines the social environment that HIV/AIDS has created for youth, as well as advocacy and communication strategies to address the epidemic.
