Secondary school

We are engaged in a four-year project (2019-2023) to develop and evaluate Informed Health Choices (IHC) learning resources for secondary school students in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda, collaborating closely with stakeholders in those countries. This work builds directly on what we learned from development and evaluation of our primary school resources. Our aim is to create flexible, digital resources that help young people make informed personal health choices and contribute to informed debate about health policies, and that can be adapted for use in other contexts.

The work will be carried out in two main stages – development and evaluation. As we complete protocols and the research articles for these stages, we will make them available below.
