Evaluation of the demand-side effects of a youth-friendly FP initiative in India. This study was designed to inform and evaluate the PSP-One "Saathiya" youth-friendly initiative (YFI) that consists of training Indian chemists and indigenous systems of medicine practitioners (ISMPs) on how to provide youth-friendly FP services in the city of Lucknow. During the project period, PSP-One researchers will conduct baseline and follow-up household surveys among youth in Lucknow as well as in the comparison city of Kanpur to document changes in youth FP knowledge, attitudes, and practices before and after the Saathiya project. Baseline data was collected among 2,573 young people in both cities in 2007, and the follow-up survey is planned for 2009.
