SUMMARY

The research aimed to test an intervention which used a gender-transformative approach to engage adolescents in RSE to prevent unprotected sex. The intervention had a null effect on the primary outcome of preventing unprotected sex (increasing sexual abstinence or use of reliable contraception) in the whole student population. However, the results showed significant increases in use of reliable contraceptives for sexually active students
