HIV Risk Reduction in Youth in the Bahamas

Summary

This study will examine whether pairing a grade 6 in-school HIV education program and a parent training program will reduce prevalence of behaviors that present high risk of HIV infection in youth in the Bahamas.

In a continuation of this study, we shall examine whether an in-school HIV prevention program delivered to grade 10 students reduces HIV risk behavior and the impact of both the grade 6 intervention and the grade 10 intervention compared to the grade 6 intervention alone.
