Summative Evaluation: The program implemented a pilot study of the ARH materials in three rural areas of Bangladesh. This pilot study included baseline and follow-up cross-sectional surveys of adolescents and their parents in the implementation and selected comparison areas. Overall, 1702 adolescents and 1203 parents were interviewed in the spring of 2004 and 1827 adolescents and 1276 parents were interviewed in the summer of 2005. The main findings from this study include: Nearly 60 percent of all adolescents in the implementation areas reported participating in the ARH group sessions; Participants in the implementation sites had greater knowledge of puberty and adolescence, pregnancy, maternal health and HIV/AIDS than either non-participants or adolescents living in the comparison sites; Participants were more likely to have discussed RH issues with a parent or elder family member than either non-participants or adolescents living in the comparison sites; The program did not have a noticeable effect on adolescents' perceptions of self-esteem or problem-solving ability; Compared to parents in the comparison areas, parents in the implementation areas indicated a greater level of participation in household decision-making by adolescents. less
