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，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，旨在针对全国代表性抽样的15至24岁男女青年群体，探究其若干生殖健康行为模式。本次2008年调查为2005年末及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。本报告明确了两类已识别的行为决定因素：一是用于人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）预防的安全套使用与性伴侣减少行为，二是用于性传播感染（STI）管理的性病诊疗寻求行为；同时展示了若干用以指导该组织开展艾滋病/性传播感染防控干预工作的选定指标的变化趋势；此外还阐明了项目暴露情况、相关行为与项目暴露决定因素之间的关联，并为未来相关活动提供了行动指引。
