Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of a contraception education program delivered by peers via social networks to high school students.

Our primary hypothesis is that the implementation of a peer-led contraceptive education program via social networks is a feasible approach in high schools on Reunion Island and Guadeloupe, as part of a before-and-after study.

Our secondary hypotheses concern the evaluation of adoption, exploratory efficacy (on knowledge, attitudes and practices), acceptability and fidelity of the peer-led education program via social networks among high school students in La Réunion and Guadeloupe.

Participants will :

  • Participate in a focus group to explore their views and experiences regarding the value of a peer educator as a source of sexual and reproductive health information.
  • answer questionnaires on their knowledge of sexual health
  • A selected group (peer influencers): Create educational content (after a training period) on sexual health, and particularly contraception, to be broadcast on social networks.
  • Take note of the program distributed on the networks by the peer influencers (for 3 months)
  • Fill in questionnaires on their knowledge of sexual health, after the program.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Feasibility of the contraceptive education program, measured by the commitment rate of peer influencers.

    This rate corresponds to the percentage of tasks completed out of the total planned tasks to be carried out by peers in the contraception education program over 3 months. We consider that the program will be feasible if at least 70% of the tasks planned by the peer educators are completed during the 3 months of intervention with high school students.

    Time frame: From date of enrollment until the end of the programm and its evaluation, assessed up to 15 months
