Aastha SBC materials have been developed after conducting a situational analysis. This analysis gave a good idea about the availability of the SBC material for different target groups, prevailing information fatigue and communication hooks necessary for the development of new SBC material.
Aastha SBC minimum package includes six quality SBC sessions to be conducted with every new registered KP, using the first seven SBC materials described. The first three materials could be used to built rapport and establish a dialogue with the KPs:
- Who is the most beautiful? (Sabse khoobsurat kaun?)
- Your beauty parlor (Aapka beauty parlor)
- Beauty tips booklet (Khoobsurti nikharneke aasan tarike)
Later, the following SBC materials should be used to
provide information in interesting ways and facilitate behavior change. These SBC materials are to be used sequentially, as per the manual:
- Before/After (Achhi sehat khoobsurti ki buniyad)
- Gift box method
- Magnet game (Bina condom ke sex bilkul nahi)
- Flip book
The Aastha SBC special package for the KPs 'at most risk' and their regular partners includes four extra SBC sessions to be conducted using the following SBC materials
- Cream bottle method - Andruni janch yane sahi pahechan
- Condom ka istemal yane sachha pyar (Puppet show)
- Litmus test - Andruni janch ka mahatav
- Love garden.
In addition to the SBC session, a quality counseling session by the project counselor would help the KPs and their regular partner in modifying their behavior to reduce the risk of STI/HIV transmission.
The Aastha SBC material user and the technical manual have been developed to help those who want to use or replicate these interactive SBC materials effectively for STI/HIV prevention, with low literate KPs. This manual will guide the PEs, step by step, while conducting the SBC sessions using this SBC material. |
