Eksperimentel: AskDoki plus Digital Champions
Intervention communities receive access to the AskDoki WhatsApp chatbot delivering comprehensive sexuality education, with support from trained youth peer leaders ("Digital Champions") who facilitate adolescent engagement with the program.

A chatbot designed to provide comprehensive sexuality education (named "AskDoki") to adolescents is deployed in a community targeted to receive the intervention along with peer facilitators.
The facilitators are young adults (named "Digital Champions") who are trained to promote and facilitate access and use among adolescents of a chatbot.
|
|
Ingen indgriben: No access to AskDoki or Digital Champions
Adolescents in comparison communities do not receive access to the AskDoki chatbot or support from Digital Champions during the study period.

Cost per adolescent who makes progress on outcome measures
Tidsramme: Start-up of intervention through six-month intervention period
