Biweekly monitoring and feedback (BMF)
School coordinators will monitor teachers' implementation progress biweekly and provide feedback to teachers.
Site-based assistance and mentorship (SAM)
High-performing teachers will serve as team leaders and guide non-responding teachers on preparation and planning. The team leader will promote group activities and enhance interaction among teachers in these meetings.
Enhanced site-based assistance and mentorship (Enhanced SAM)
A FOYC coach (with FOYC implementation and training experience) will provide tailored in-person support, facilitate goal-setting, opportunities to interact with consultants, supportive text messaging, continuing education, networking strategies, and monthly check-ins.
FOYC+CImPACT
Focus on Youth in the Caribbean (FOYC) is an evidence-based, eight-session life skills curriculum designed to reduce risk-taking behaviors related to HIV/STI transmission and teen pregnancy. Woven throughout FOYC is a decision-making model that provides guidance and practice in problem solving with a focus on how to obtain factual information on sexual health. CImPACT is a single-session intervention including a 24-min educational video filmed in The Bahamas. The video focuses on effective parent-adolescent communication and listening strategies related to difficult topics including "safe-sex" followed by two role-plays for the parent and youth, a discussion, and a condom demonstration.
