The 891 girls aged 10-19 who participated in the Adolescent Girls Initiate For Their Reproductive Health (A GIFT for RH Project) in Nepal were interviewed at three intervals: (1) before they started a nine-month literacy and family life course; (2) soon after course completion; and (3) one year later after they had participated in discussion groups. Knowledge of pregnancy risk, family planning, safe pregnancy and HIV/AIDS increased after the course and continued to grow during the discussion group period. Knowledge of sources of health care rose from less than 60 percent in the initial survey to 98 percent in the third survey.
