DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD012249. To identify school‐based interventions that improved contraceptive use among adolescents “Objectives: Author's conclusions and implications for practice: Most included trials aimed to prevent HIV/STI and pregnancy. All of the effective interventions with evidence of high or moderate quality addressed these issues. A few, mostly older trials, focused on pregnancy prevention and had limited effect. Peer‐led education did not have a positive effect compared with teacher‐led education. The effective strategies were generally multifaceted with multiple sessions. They were often interactive and provided a variety of activities, and therefore more likely than a didactic approach to engage adolescents in learning and to lead to behaviour change.” Oringanje C, Meremikwu MM, Eko H, Esu E, Meremikwu A, Ehiri JE.

"Objectives: To assess the effects of primary prevention interventions community/home‐based, clinic‐based, and faith‐based) on unintended pregnancies among adolescents. Conclusions: A combination of educational and contraceptive‐promoting interventions appears to reduce unintended pregnancy adolescents. Evidence for programme effects on biological measures is limited. The variability in study populations, interventions and outcomes of included trials, and the paucity of studies directly comparing different interventions preclude a definitive conclusion regarding which type of intervention is most effective" 4.
