Evaluation of SASA! Together Radio Booster
REFNo: SS1279ES

The SASA! Together Radio Booster aims to enhance program reach, inclusivity, and impact at this critical moment when innovative prevention strategies are urgently needed. Specific objectives are to: 1. Create a high-quality adaptation of SASA! Together content for radio; 2. Implement SASA! Together Radio Booster programming 3. Create a ‘SASA! Together for Radio’ programming guide to support partners in implementing the radio components alongside community SASA! Together programming The evaluation research aims to assess the ways in which the SASA! Together Radio Booster strengthens the delivery and potential for impact of SASA! Together community programming. Specific objectives are to: 1. Explore the extent to which the Radio Booster expands the reach of SASA! Together, overall and among specific sub-groups (e.g. by sex, age, disability status). 2. Qualitatively assess potential mechanisms of “booster” effects of the radio programming. 3. Assess community members’/leaders’ perceptions of the Radio Booster’s influence. 4. Quantitatively assess change among community members (over the course of radio programming in relation to: attitudes concerning intimate relationships and the acceptability of IPV against women; quality of intimate relationships (trust, communication, decision-making, sexual decision-making); and activism and/or intention to prevent or respond to IPV.
