Abstract

Zambia, like other low- and middle-income countries, faces numerous adolescent sexual and reproductive health challenges such as teenage pregnancies. This study aimed at understanding teachers' and community health workers' (CHWs) implementation of comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) as part of a comprehensive support package for adolescent girls to prevent early childbearing. Data collected using in-depth interviews [n = 28] with teachers [n = 15] and community health workers [n = 13] were analysed using thematic analysis. The teachers and CHWs reported that the use of participatory approaches and collaboration between them in implementing CSE enabled them to increase girls' and boys' participation youth clubs. However, some teachers and CHWs experienced practical challenges with the manuals because some concepts were difficult to understand and translate into local language. The participants perceived that the youth club increased knowledge on CSE, assertiveness and self-esteem among the learners. Training and providing a detailed teaching manual with participatory approaches for delivering CSE, and collaborative teaching enabled teachers and CHWs to easily communicate sensitive SRH topics to the learners. However, for the adoption of CSE to be even more successful, piloting of the curriculum with local facilitators and translating the manuals into the local languages before they are implemented, is recommended.

Abstract

Current law in Zambia criminalises same-sex sexual contact while strong socio-cultural values drive a profoundly negative view of the moral status of gender and sexual minorities. Despite this, Zambia's national HIV programme has recently identified the predominantly young population of men who have sex with men as a priority group for HIV and other sexual health programming. Research in other African settings has shown how the sexual health of these young men is affected by mental health. This mixed-methods study, which drew on the minority stress model as an analytical framework, sought to explore mental health as an initial step towards understanding its influence on other health domains. Findings describe the tension, and its psychological effects, surrounding the trajectory of discovering and affirming same-sex sexuality in an environment replete with social, physical and emotional risks, but one in which young men must nevertheless seek to create and maintain a meaningful, if precarious, social existence. To achieve this, in the absence of supportive mental health services or other programmatic responses, they adopt numerous risk-mitigation or coping strategies to attempt to build resiliency and to preserve their psychological and emotional well-being.
