IPPF/WHR’s organizational vision for youth is that all young people are able to enjoy their sexual lives free from ill health, unwanted pregnancy, violence and discrimination. However, youth in especially difficult situations (YEDC), such as youth who live and/or work on the streets, gang members and teenage parents are often at high risk for sexually transmitted infections, HIV and unintended pregnancies as well as a range of broader social and societal disadvantages. In order to facilitate work with vulnerable youth populations, IPPF/WHR, in collaboration with its member associations, developed “Meeting the Sexual and Reproductive Health Needs of Vulnerable Youth: A Toolkit” that contains assessment, evaluation, and planning tools.
This Vulnerable Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health Services toolkit was developed and tested in collaboration with IPPF Member Associations in Bolivia, Guatemala and Peru and can be adapted for any vulnerable youth population. The kit includes a survey and analysis tools to measure provider and staff attitudes and comfort working with vulnerable youth populations. The tool kit also includes evaluation tools to assess baseline and endline measures of knowledge, attitudes and behaviors among youth. These instruments have been tested with samples in these three countries and have been useful in collecting data to both inform and evaluate programs as well as to strengthen existing services.
