Guest guest Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Greetings and apologies for any cross-postings! YouthLens, published by Family Health International as part of its YouthNet program, is a series of research briefs that summarize the latest information on key issues regarding reproductive health and HIV prevention among youth ages 10 to 24. YouthNet is pleased to announce that four new YouthLens are now available: Youth-Adult Partnerships Show Promise (http://www.fhi.org/en/youth/youthnet/pubs/pubspdf/ylenspartnerships.pdf <http://www.fhi.org/en/youth/youthnet/pubs/pubspdf/ylenspartnerships.pdf> ). Anecdotal evidence suggests that youth involvement can go beyond program interventions to include collaborations with adults in policy, management, and evaluation areas as well. Condoms and Sexually Active Youth (http://www.fhi.org/en/youth/youthnet/pubs/pubspdf/ylenscondoms.pdf <http://www.fhi.org/en/youth/youthnet/pubs/pubspdf/ylenscondoms.pdf> ). Condom use among sexually active youth varies widely, due to issues including risk perception, social support, gender, and knowledge gaps. Participatory Learning and Action (http://www.fhi.org/en/youth/youthnet/pubs/pubspdf/ylenspartlearnactn.pdf <http://www.fhi.org/en/youth/youthnet/pubs/pubspdf/ylenspartlearnactn.pdf> ). The Ethiopian Ministry of Youth, Sports, and Culture used a youth-based participatory process to develop an HIV/AIDS and sexual health component in its new program, resulting in a mobilized coalition of young people committed to the health and future of their country. Multisectoral Programs Link Intervention Efforts (http://www.fhi.org/en/youth/youthnet/pubs/pubspdf/ylensintefrts.pdf <http://www.fhi.org/en/youth/youthnet/pubs/pubspdf/ylensintefrts.pdf> ). In Haiti, a coordinated effort addresses health, agriculture, education, and income generation needs of young people through a single project.
