This document reports on a study whose objective was to test the feasibility of using comic books role models and edutainment to communicate HIV and AIDS messages to in-school young people with a view to improving their knowledge about the epidemic enhancing communication about it and promoting positive attitudes and behavior among them. The study was conducted as a pilot and used a quasi-experimental pre- and post-intervention design without a comparison group. It was implemented between 2010 and 2011 in eight secondary schools in Nairobi Kenya by the APHIA II Operations Research (OR) Project in collaboration with the AIDS Control Unit in the Ministry of Education Well Told Story and the National AIDS / STI Control Programme (NASCOP).
