the community). Please give your reasons
starting with the most important ones.
• How has the work affected you personally
(for example, position in the community,
friends, future plans)?
• Has your private life and your friendships
changed in relation with your PE work? How
often and in what way do you interact with
your PE colleagues?

or others after attending sessions? If so,
with whom and what were they about?
• Have you talked about things related to
HIV prevention outside of school? Were
there any activities related to your work as a
PE outside of school? Where and with
whom?
• Did participants stay in contact or come
back with questions? (details) If the same
youth attended different activities, did you
notice a change in her/ his participation

displaced and/ or out of school youth. Has
this affected your activities?
• How much interaction is there between inschool

changed during conflict?
