Abstract

Adolescent sexuality is a subject of public health concern because of the associated consequences such as adolescent pregnancy, truncated education and sexually transmitted infections. The prevalence of teenage pregnancy and school dropout among adolescents in Oyo State was found to be 8.2% and 21.7% respectively. The study employed a quasi-experimental design. The population of the study was in-school adolescents in Ibadan. One hundred and twenty adolescents were selected through systematic sampling. Four school were randomly assigned to 3 experimental groups and 1control group. A validated questionnaire was used for data collection. The results showed that 23 (19.1%) adolescents had engaged in a sexual intercourse and mean age at sexual debut was 13.91±1.929 years. The combination of the PSE and THM interventions better predicted a change in the adolescents’ level of sexual self-esteem (p > 0.01) and sexual assertiveness (p > 0.01). The study recommended that program directors and stakeholders should develop and contextualize multiple interventions to address the cognitive and psychosocial skills of adolescents towards sexual-risk behaviors.
