Lifeskills-based education (LSBE) for HIV/AIDS and drug and substance use prevention in East Asia and the Pacific has been assessed by two methods.
Lifeskills-based education (LSBE) for HIV/AIDS and drug and substance use prevention in East Asia and the Pacific has been assessed by two methods. The first method of analysis was employed to compare LSBE programming in each country against the essential elements of behavior development and change (BDC) interventions. This method allows us to examine the evidence-base, appropriateness, quality, and sustainability of LSBE programming. The majority of countries are working to strengthen or expand elements of BDC that are in place or introduce new elements into their respective BDC/Lifeskills programs.
