Replication data for: Central Asia (2007): Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of At-Risk Youth Relating to Injecting Drug Use and Sexual Behavior in Four Countries of Central Asia. Third Round.

PSI/ Central Asia implemented a 5-year USAID-funded Drug Demand Reduction Program (DDRP) called Youth Powerin select sites in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan (2003-2008). The objective of the Youth Power program was to reduce initiation to injecting drug use and increase condom use among at-risk youth aged 15-25 through mass media, peer educators, and a network of Youth Power Centers. There have been three surveys: baseline, and two follow-up surveys. The main objective of this study is to monitor changes in behavioral indicators and their determinants over time, and to evaluate the effect of the PSI intervention. Given low exposure to PSI's Youth Power Centers in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, this report presents evaluation analyses for Tajikistan and Uzbekistan only (where there were sufficient respondents in the third survey round who had been exposed to the Youth Power Centers).
