Operations Research Project
Family planning and reproductive health needs of young people in the Caribbean:Training and ServicesFPA is currently participating in a three year Operations Research Project along with the Associations in St Lucia and Guyana. The goal of this project is to test the efficacy of a peer helper training model which includes a supportive network of parents and teachers designed to reinforce healthy behaviour and attitudes in young people. Fifty-three (53) peer helpers between the ages of 13 - 17 from Naparima Girls' High School, Tabaquite Composite and Success Laventille have been trained.
This is the first time that the FPA has had the opportunity to scientifically test the effectiveness of comprehensive peer helper training model. The Association intends to implement this model in all future peer helper training programmes.
