Evaluating knowledge gains from structured sexual and reproductive health education among in-school adolescents in Southeast Nigeria
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Lack of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) knowledge among adolescents can lead to risky sexual behaviors and poor SRH outcomes. This study aimed to assess the difference in SRH knowledge between adolescents in schools that received SRH interventions and those in non-intervention schools in Ebonyi State, Southeast, Nigeria. This was an intervention study that employed an ex-post outcome design. Data were collected from 503 in-school adolescent boys and girls aged 13–18 who were randomly selected from the eligible schools. The data were collected through a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire Participants were randomly selected for technique. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted. A significantly higher proportion of respondents who participated in the intervention (94.16%) demonstrated good knowledge of SRH compared to those who did not participate (85.77%), with a p-value of 0.002. Senior secondary school students (92.31%) exhibited better SRH knowledge than junior secondary school students (86.39%) (p = 0.031). Female adolescents were 3.2 times less likely to have good SRH knowledge compared to male adolescents. Efforts to adopt and scale up SRH interventions should prioritize equal and full participation across all adolescent groups, especially girls, junior students, working adolescents, and urban residents.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
