improved knowledge about sexual relationships and possible consequences

persönliche Entwicklung / Erwerb von sozialen und personalen Kompetenzen

Qualitative data highlighted that young people found the programme to be relevant, fun and insightful and participants said that it made them better informed and more aware of the consequences of their actions. Statistically significant results were found for the Intervention Groups 1 and 3 but not for the control group Intervention Group 2. This suggests that those who had taken part in the intervention showed higher levels of knowledge about sex than those who had not.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

A combination of qualitative and quantitative measures were used in the study. Qualitative measures included focus groups with young people, focus groups with staff, interviews with key stakeholders and documentary analysis. Quantitative measures included a survey of staff trained in the programme and a quasi-experimental design to assess outcomes from the programme among participants. Outcomes were assessed using both quantitative and qualitative methods. With regard to quantitative methods, outcomes from the programme were assessed using a quasi-experimental strand, whereby data were collected from youth participants in the Real U programme over three time periods (between September 2012 and March 2013).
Knowledge about sex was assessed with eighteen items, some were true/false, and others participants were invited to indicate which of a set of possible answers was correct.
