11 Reaching adolescents through their peers Dr V Chandra-Mouli With inputs from Marija Delas (young person/peer educator) Training Course in Sexual and Reproductive Health Research Geneva 2015 October 2015

22 Key statement 1 Peer relationships are one of the defining features of adolescence. Early adolescence (10-13 years) – affiliation Middle adolescence (14-16 years) identification Older adolescence (17-19 years) peer relationships recede in favour of individual friendships

33 Key statement 2 Peer relationships are very important to adolescents. Being popular with their peers triggers a stronger positive response in adolescents than in adults.

44 Key statement 3 Peer relationships contribute to emotional and social development in adolescents. They shape who they are and who they want to be They help adolescents to: - Learn how to interact with others - Observe how others deal with their challenges and problems - Give and get support

5 Key statement 4 Peer relationships contribute to healthy and pro-social behaviours, and to unhealthy and anti-social ones.

66 Key statement 5 All of us – children, adolescents and adults – face peer pressure. The more important it is for an adolescent to belong to a peer group, the more susceptible he/she is to peer pressure.

77 Key statement 6 Adults should help adolescents understand and deal with peer pressure.

88 Key statement 7 Through peer-led education – information, attitudes and values, and behaviours can be taught and shared.

99 Key statement 8 Peer education is a popular alternative or complement to adult-led health education approaches. It enables: - Information exchange and open discussion between adolescents of similar age and social status - Opportunities for repeated contact in a friendly context - Access to those who are hard to reach through traditional adult- led health-education approaches

10 Key statement 9 The effectiveness of peer-education in increasing safe behaviours/reducing risky behaviours is limited.

11 Key statement 10 Adult-led education programmes can provide accurate information, answer questions and clarify misconceptions. Peer-led education programmes could complement this through discussion and interpretations in the context of adolescents' lives.

12 Key statement 11 Y-PEER – the UNFPA-led youth education network provides a useful forum for information exchange among organization doing/supporting peer-led education programmes. It also provides a four-part tool kit for managers and trainers of peer-education programmes.

13 Key statement 12 Peer-education programmes encounter many practical challenges in: - Recruiting the right persons to be peer-educators - Retaining them - Replacing them (when they leave) - Training them to educate their peers effectively - Monitoring their work and supporting them, especially when they face challenges in their work The Geracao Biz (Busy Generation) programme in Mozambique is facing and dealing with these challenges. It provides useful lessons.
