Overview

This guide consists of five prevention tools. The five prevention tools are:

  • A mapping guide
  • A site inventory
  • An ethnographic guide
  • A focus group guide
  • Rapid behavioural surveys

Introduction to Tools

The mapping is intended to provide a geographic overview of a project area. The site inventory is a detailed enumeration of population, employment, infrastructure, transport routes and health and social services. The ethnographic guide is designed to generate a rapid "snapshot" of the sexual and social culture of a project area. The focus group guide is designed to provide further in-depth qualitative insights. The behavioural surveys are designed to provide rapid, key data on sexual behaviour, condom use and STIs. Together, the five sources of data provide a spatial, quantitative and qualitative overview of a project area.
