Summary

This study tests whether a 4-day Afrocentric sexual health curriculum improves the knowledge, attitudes, and counseling skills of 310 health students in Tanzania. Participants are randomly assigned to take the course or join a waitlist. Researchers measure changes in sexual health knowledge, confidence, and counseling skills over 6, 12, and 24 months. The goal is to see if this training leads to lasting improvements in how providers address sexual health.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Comprehensive sexual health curriculum (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a short, culturally tailored training program improves how future health providers discuss sexual health with patients.
What could go wrong
This is a medium-sized trial measuring knowledge and skills, not health outcomes. Results may not apply outside Tanzania or to other types of training.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * A health student studying at MUHAS and verified by being registered as a pre-final year midwifery, nursing or medical student (or its equivalent). * "Pre-final" year is defined as a student who is just about to enter year 3 of nursing, or year 4 of midwifery or medicine. * Living or studying in Tanzania * Experienced, operationalized as having worked at least 100 hours as a health worker in a clinic, hospital or community setting so students can discuss what happens in the clinical setting * Able to speak English and Kiswahili. Exclusion Criteria: * Students who will not be able to attend all days of the seminar at their health institution or be on their campus for the follow-up. * Students who express any reservations about attending (e.g., due to religious objections) * Students who express a fear of violence due to attending (e.g., from a spouse or relative). * Students who attended the sexual health seminar (e.g., during THP-1 or at another site). This is to prevent a student participating more than once.
