Their primary measure of the effectiveness of these interventions is teenage childbearing, which is associated with unprotected sex. The authors also collected measures of knowledge, attitudes, and behavior regarding HIV/AIDS. After two years, girls in schools where teachers had been trained were more likely to be married in the event of a pregnancy. The program had little other impact on students' knowledge, attitudes, and behavior, or on the incidence of teen childbearing. The condom debates and essays increased practical knowledge and self-reported use of condoms without increasing self-reported sexual activity. Reducing the cost of education by paying for school uniforms reduced dropout rates, teen marriage, and childbearing. 2012-06-26T14:11:53Z 2012-06-26T14:11:53Z 2006-10 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2006/10/7106700/education-hivaids-prevention-evidence-randomized-evaluation-western-kenya http://hdl.handle.net/10986/9007 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper; No. 4024 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Africa Sub-Saharan Africa East Africa Kenya
