摘要：
Peer education is an approach to health promotion, in which community members are supported to promote health-enhancing change among their peers. This approach is being adopted to improve access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information among young people. Society for Family Health implemented a peer education intervention (MTV Shuga Naija Peer Education Project) among young people aged 15–24 years in Kaduna and Kano States, Nigeria. This study presents findings on the effectiveness of peer-education in addressing myths, misconceptions and improving knowledge on sexual and reproductive health issues.
