The purpose of the matrix is to provide youth-serving organizations with a guide
of topics on family planning, HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
and gender; segmenting them by age and marital status. The matrix can assist
technical experts, program managers, health providers, peer educators and others
to determine what topics and interventions best fit into their own respective
programs while taking cultural paradigms into consideration. The tool can be
applied in any setting or program serving youth such as schools, outreach and
peer education programs, community-based youth services or youth-friendly
clinics.
