Assessing the faiSAbility of a Peer-to-peer Contraceptive Education Program on Social Networks Aimed at 15- to 19-year-old High School Students in GuAdeloupe and La RéunIon: a Before-after SAPLAI Pilot Study

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of a contraception education program delivered by peers via social networks to high school students.

Our primary hypothesis is that the implementation of a peer-led contraceptive education program via social networks is a feasible approach in high schools on Reunion Island and Guadeloupe, as part of a before-and-after study.

Our secondary hypotheses concern the evaluation of adoption, exploratory efficacy (on knowledge, attitudes and practices), acceptability and fidelity of the peer-led education program via social networks among high school students in La Réunion and Guadeloupe.

Participants will :

• Participate in a focus group to explore their views and experiences regarding the value of a peer educator as a source of sexual and reproductive health information.
• answer questionnaires on their knowledge of sexual health
• A selected group (peer influencers): Create educational content (after a training period) on sexual health, and particularly contraception, to be broadcast on social networks.
• Take note of the program distributed on the networks by the peer influencers (for 3 months)
• Fill in questionnaires on their knowledge of sexual health, after the program.
