Madagascar (2008): TRaC Study Evaluating the Effect of an HIV-prevention Program Targeting Young People (15-24) in Madagascar. Second Round

Between April-June 2008, Population Services International Madagascar (PSI/M) conducted a household survey designed to investigate certain reproductive health behaviours among a nationally representative sample of 15 to 24 year old male and female youth. The 2008 survey was a follow-up to the Tracking Results Continuously (TRaC) survey conducted in late 2005 and the first quarter of 2006. This report presents identified behavioral determinants for condom use and partner reduction, for HIV prevention, and for seeking STI treatment, for STI management. It also shows trends in certain selected indicators that guide PSI's interventions in HIV/STI prevention. Lastly, it shows the association between exposure, behaviors and determinants of the program's exposure and provides guidance for future activities.2008年4月至6月期间，国际人口服务组织马达加斯加分部（Population Services International Madagascar, PSI/M）开展了一项家庭调查，旨在针对全国范围内具有代表性的15至24岁青年男女样本，探究其生殖健康相关行为。本次2008年调查是2005年末与2006年第一季度开展的“持续追踪结果（Tracking Results Continuously, TRaC）”调查的追踪研究。本报告明确了用于人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）预防的安全套使用与性伴侣数量减少行为，以及用于性传播感染（Sexually Transmitted Infection, STI）管理的性病求医行为的已识别行为决定因素；同时展示了指导国际人口服务组织开展HIV/STI预防干预工作的部分选定指标的变化趋势；最后揭示了项目接触情况、相关行为与项目接触决定因素之间的关联，并为后续活动提供了行动指引。
