orphans in school, reduce sexual risk behaviors, and prevent HIV /HSV-2 infection.
This study examines the impact of school support as a structural intervention, tested among
adolescent orphans in Siaya District, Nyanza Province, Kenya.
Aims for the proposed study are: 1) To experimentally test whether providing comprehensive
school support to Kenyan orphaned boys and girls will reduce school dropout, reduce sexual
risk behaviors, and prevent HIV/HSV-2 infection; 2) To conduct a process evaluation of the
implementation of the program; and 3) To conduct comparative cost effectiveness analyses,
specifying the intervention's cost and return on investment as evidenced by cost per unit
improvement in the primary outcomes of school enrollment, delay of sexual debut and
prevention of risk behaviors and HIV/HSV-2 infection, as well as by gains in health-related
quality of life.
