Historically, most of the focus on comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) has been on expanding the availability and quality of in-school programs to reach large numbers of young people with information they need to grow and develop in good health. This study examined the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of actions to train and support facilitators to delivery CSE in out-of-school settings for young people with particular needs and circumstances in four countries.
Specifically, these groups included young migrants and their host community in Colombia, young people with disabilities (YPWD) and young people involved in sex work in Ethiopia, young people in detention and young people living with HIV (YPLHIV) in Ghana, and YPWD and YPLHIV in Malawi.
