A new Research Brief published by Population Services International examines survey analysis of PSI/Madagascar's TOP Réseau adolescent reproductive health program and reveals an increase in healthy behavior during the PSI intervention period. Youth exposed to the PSI program were more likely to know where to find family planning services or sexually-transmitted infection (STI) treatment, to correctly identify STI symptoms and to have used a condom. PSI's Research Brief "Franchised Youth Clinics Motivate Behavior Change in Madagascar" provides a summary of the survey results and offers a lessons learned section.
