Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of a contraception education program delivered by peers via social networks to high school students.
Our primary hypothesis is that the implementation of a peer-led contraceptive education program via social networks is a feasible approach in high schools on Reunion Island and Guadeloupe, as part of a before-and-after study.
Our secondary hypotheses concern the evaluation of adoption, exploratory efficacy (on knowledge, attitudes and practices), acceptability and fidelity of the peer-led education program via social networks among high school students in La Réunion and Guadeloupe.
Participants will :
- Participate in a focus group to explore their views and experiences regarding the value of a peer educator as a source of sexual and reproductive health information.
- answer questionnaires on their knowledge of sexual health
- A selected group (peer influencers): Create educational content (after a training period) on sexual health, and particularly contraception, to be broadcast on social networks.
- Take note of the program distributed on the networks by the peer influencers (for 3 months)
- Fill in questionnaires on their knowledge of sexual health, after the program.
