The development of the Comprehensive Family Planning and Reproductive Health<br />
Training Curriculum, including this module, is an ongoing process and the result of<br />
collaboration between many individuals. The development process of this<br />
Comprehensive Curriculum began with the privately funded Reproductive Health<br />
Program (RHP) in Viet Nam.<br />
This module is a new module based on <strong>Pathfinder</strong>'s experience in providing<br />
<strong>reproductive</strong> <strong>health</strong> <strong>services</strong> to <strong>adolescents</strong>. The module's design is based on the<br />
Family Planning Course Modules, produced by the Indian Medical Association in<br />
collaboration with Development Associates, Inc. Parts of this curriculum are adapted<br />
from Improving Interpersonal Communications Skills <strong>for</strong> Counseling Adolescents on<br />
Sexual and Reproductive Health by Dorina Vereau, <strong>Pathfinder</strong> <strong>International</strong>, Peru. The<br />
module was pre-tested in India and then underwent a technical review in Tanzania by<br />
colleagues involved in the African Youth Alliance (AYA) project, other programs in<br />
Tanzania, and the Ministry of Health. Feedback from this pre-test and technical review<br />
was incorporated into the training module to improve its content, training methodologies,<br />
and ease of use.<br />
With the help of colleagues at <strong>Pathfinder</strong> <strong>International</strong>, this curriculum has been<br />
improved, expanded, and updated to its present <strong>for</strong>m. Many thanks to: Nelson Keyonzo<br />
and Pamela Onduso <strong>for</strong> assisting in the planning of this module; Ellen Israel, who<br />
provided technical support and input; Rekha Masilamani and Annie Mathew <strong>for</strong><br />
