Reaching out to the Young: An Innovative Communication
Strategy on HIV for young people
Year: 2006-07
Supported by: DFID - India
Ideosync, in partnership with the Constella Futures Group, and MAMTA
Institute for Mother & Child Health, was commissioned by DFIDI to study
knowledge, attitudes and practice (KAP) surrounding RSH and HIV among
young people in India. The research process was conducted across 4
districts each in Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh - the former a low
incidence/low awareness/high risk area, and the latter a high
incidence/high risk/high awareness area. All the data was collected by
community researchers trained in qualitative and quantitive research
processes by Ideosync. The study resulted in the development of Reaching
out to the Young, a groundbreaking communication strategy addressing
young people. For more on the strategy plan, click here.

Shaping Demand & Practices to Improve Family Health
Outcomes in Northern India
Year: 2008-10
Supported by: Population Council
Ideosync, as part of a consortium led by the Population Council,
conducted a large scale communication landscaping of Uttar Pradesh,
focusing on reproductive, maternal and child health and nutrition
(RMNCHN). Ideosync’s qualitative sub-study focused on previous BCC
work in the state; perspectives from government and donor/NGO health
programmes; and the potential for partnerships with electronic and print
media channels to improve coverage of RNCHN related issues. The study is
expected to feed into a full scale BCC intervention on RMNCHN to address
multiple states across Northern India.
