FEDS SPEND $236,517 FOR CELLPHONE GAME TO TEACH 11-YEAR-OLD KENYANS HOW TO USE CONDOMS

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is spending over $200,000 to create a mobile game that will teach young teens in Kenya to use condoms.

The game also seeks to “educate very young adolescents” about HIV and “harmful gender norms.”

“The overall goal of the proposed project is to contribute to reductions in HIV incidence among youth in sub- Saharan Africa,” according to the NIH grant. “The objective of our proposed study is to advance that goal by developing, building and pilot-testing an interactive electronic game for preadolescents that will be informed by socio-behavioral and pedagogical theories, evidence-based practice, and unique formative research on youth sexual culture in sub- Saharan Africa.”
