A 2001 study highlighted married adolescent girls as a particularly vulnerable population in Nyanza Province Kenya because of their elevated risk for HIV infection compared to other sexually active girls elsewhere in the country. This document reports on a study whose objectives were to 1) identify and design a set of interventions that promote the uptake of comprehensive reproductive health (RH) family planning (FP) and HIV prevention services and information among married adolescent girls; and 2) expand access to comprehensive RH / FP and HIV prevention services and information among this population.
