Table 4 shows pre- and post-intervention test performance of students by
district, age, gender, and attendance level. The performance of students
improved in all districts, and with increasing attendance level.
Although knowledge of boys was low compared to girls prior to the
intervention, the gap was reduced following the intervention. No major
difference was observed by age.

Perception and experience of the
intervention
IDIs with teachers and FGDs with students elucidated high acceptance and
positive feedback regarding the interventions, the communication
materials used, the education sessions, increase in knowledge, as well
as a positive attitude towards behaviour change and wider sharing of
information. Teachers also highlighted some challenges in implementation
and how the intervention could be improved.
