            <description><![CDATA[AIDSMark Rolls Out Delayed Sexual Debut Campaign
Sexual coercion, intense peer pressure and transactional sex have proven to be major barriers to delayed sexual debut for African teens. In order to address these issues, PSI’s AIDSMark project has produced a multimedia regional campaign using television, print, radio and interpersonal communications. The campaign encourages youth ages 13-19 to postpone sexual activity and return to abstinence if they are already sexually active.

In Kenya, Population Services International's (PSI) malaria prevention project has averted an estimated 16,000 child deaths in less than three years through provision of insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs). PSI/Kenya's intensive five-year effort and creative communications campaigns have put it on track to achieve the Roll Back Malaria target of 60% ITN coverage of pregnant women and children under five by 2005. Household ownership of nets increased from 22% in 2000 to 31% in 2003, and awareness of ITNs as an effective malaria prevention strategy increased from 3% in 2001 to 44% in 2003.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Condom promotion to the general population - not only high-risk groups — is necessary and effective in curbing the spread of HIV/AIDS, especially in countries with high HIV prevalence, according to an Issue Brief released by Population Services International (PSI), a nonprofit organization implementing HIV/AIDS prevention programs in more than 60 countries. The Issue Brief posits that promoting condoms to the general population - a personal protection strategy that allows people to reduce their risk by "about 90% when used consistently and properly" — is justified by the evidence.]]></description>

Population Services International (PSI) reports on health impact achieved through its behavior change communication and sales of products and services in more than 60 countries in its newly released 2003-2004 biennial report.

            <title>Declining HIV Prevalence Gives Hope in Cambodia</title>
            <link>http://www.psi.org/resources/cambodia.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[A publication by Population Services International (PSI) examines the decrease in HIV prevalence in Cambodia which the World Health Organization has attributed to the government's 100% condom use policy in commercial sex establishments and the work of NGOs who support that policy. Condom use among brothel-based sex workers is reported to have more than doubled from 1997 to 2002 and the share of new HIV infections resulting from commercial sex has plummeted from 80-90% to 21% in 2002. Cambodia has followed the example of Thailand, where HIV prevalence fell dramatically after the government implemented a 100% condom use policy in 1989. This certainly does not mark an end of the epidemic in Cambodia but does show that well-targeted social marketing efforts, including the strategic promotion of condoms, can have a significant impact on the epidemic.
