Right to Know, UNICEF BiH—developing a communication strategy for the prevention of HIV/AIDS among young people through participatory action research

The article describes the process and the findings of a Participatory Action Research (PAR) conducted with young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) in 2003, with an aim to develop a communication strategy for the prevention of HIV/AIDS in BiH. The study was initiated and funded as part of a global UNICEF initiative bearing the same name and aims. The process included the development of three youth research teams in three towns in BiH—Sarajevo, Tuzla and Banja Luka, that worked with their peers in their communities with a support from a Head Researcher with PAR experience. The young people developed a prevention strategy that includes peer education in elementary and high schools and co‐operation with the media.
