What works?
Behavioral economics has helped me to have more insight into the working minds of youth. Sometime back, I had a discussion with some youth and the topic was condom use. Some of the reasons youth put forward for not using condoms baffled me. I was intrigued. Some of the reasons put forward were 1, they hear they are not 100% effective and 2. They can break when one pours red pepper solution on to condoms.
Even in family planning, some women and men were worried that some of the methods were not 100% effective…. So why use them?
Behavioural economics has shed some light, especially this principle;
“People are bad at computation when making decisions: they put undue weight on recent events and too little on far-off ones; they cannot calculate probabilities well and worry too much about unlikely events; and they are strongly influenced by how the problem/information is presented to them”
What kind of “nurge” would you give this kind of target audience?
FOR them and WITH them.
The adolescent mind is a whole new territory that researchers are only now beginning to understand. The rational part of the human mind is fully developed at age 25, so engaging and promoting healthy behaviors among youth has to be tailored specifically FOR them and WITH them.
FOR the and WITH them
I agree with you Noor Sabah Rakhshani adolescent programming requires designing programs from a new dimension not only borrowing successful approaches targetted for adults. Engaging and involving them will bring success
keeping the momentum
I look forward to learning from each other on how to engage communities and audiences of all age groups.
best regards,
Noor Sabah
Communication
The right communication and consistency. In this communication and in the information given. To correct myths and educate, there has to be clear communication. Create forums - just like you did - that facilitate for communication among adolescents about issues relevant to them in terms of health and behaviour and what they mean. Sometimes information is there, just not the right one.
Because we need to be vigilent when it comes to the adolescent as any curves in health can be turned in them. We need summits like the #sbccsummit2018 to learn what others are doing in their communities to improve communication and behavioral change.
Let's create fertile ground for behaviour change
Great topic. Young people do indeed, struggle to put off short term gain in favour of long term rewards and this results in high risk tolerance especially around sexual behaviour. So many things play into it, though: socioeconomic status, gender-related power dynamics within sexual relationships, etc. I think engaging with them through media that they use on a daily basis is one thing. Enagging with them through the formal education system is another. But one critical point is also understanding the structural determinants of their behaviours and making those as conducive as possible to their making the right decisions. E.g conditional cash transfers, shifting gender norms or better social support may contribute to creating an environment in which an adolecent girl chooses delaying sexual debut versus having coerced sex with an older partner who can provide material goods to her/her family.
Funding to attend
Wow! Thanks for re-opening the limited funding window. Time to take a chance
SBCC Scholarship Reopening
Thank you so much for re-opening. I am definately taking a chance
Preventing Teenage pregnacies
At SBCC 2018, I am looking forward to learning how ecological orientation can addresses gender and poverty issues, and use evidence-based methods to impact the views of decision-makers such as politicians and education authorities to boost programme planners’ capacity to engage community-level involvement and to enhance programme success towards prevention of teenage pregnancies in Africa. I can wait!
Fear of sexual violence
Fear of sexual violence against women and girls (SVAWG) in public spaces is a major barrier to equitable development. In India, SVAWG has gained attention in cities but in rural areas where 70% of India’s population resides, little is known about the magnitude and the forms of violence perpetrated on women and girls in public spaces or even acknowledged. The Local rural governance bodies, known as Gram Panchayats (GP), are the only arm of the state constitutionally mandated to address issues of violence and development of women and girls but they have reneged on this responsibility mainly because socially accepted practices are convenient and there are no clear guidelines to address the issue.
The women’s collective has been able to access the Panchayat Office space as a designated venue for their monthly meetings, which was earlier very rarely or never visited by the women. It is an important symbolic movement towards exercising political agency of women through collective action. More such activities and initiatives are a part of the intervention arm of the project. We are looking forward to the opportunity of interacting with participants and learning from innovations.
SBCC Summit
Really looking forward to attending the SBCC Summit and sharing ideas with everyone regarding how my organization, Kashf Foundation, has worked in Pakistan on changing the mindsets of people, empowering women and educating the youth through entertainment education
SBCC Summit 2018
Social awareness through media campaigns has been an integral component of my organization's strategy in Pakistan to improve the living conditions of women. Really looking forward to attending the Summit and learning from others what strategies have worked in their respective countries.
Technology and communication
I would like to know people who have work that focus on effective communication and behavioral change among adolescents for the #SBCCSummit2018. My work has been accepted and I am very interesting in adolescent health. Specifically communication and behavioral change and how we can use technology (social media) to get attention from and create change amongst adolescents.

Abstracts accepted for SBCC summit
A whooping 800 abstracts were accepted for the 2018 SBCC Summit in Indonesia. This is going to be a very educative and enriching experience. It is good to see that the important role SBCC plays in developmental work is gaining more recognition. It is also worthy of note that the abstracts cover a wide range of issues from child issues to women, health, human rights and others. SBCC is vital to several fields of practice.
Learning for SBCC in community health
I am looking forward to learning about innovative approaches for SBCC interventions that can be implemented in the community health context in this conference.
Thank you,

Registration day was a blast. The summit venue is amazing!
Human-centered design
Great insights ! Good take aways :
1. There are methods of predicting outbreaks from a social science point of view apart from epidemiological data. It looks into déterminants of behaviour and current practices
2. We need anthropological insights in outbreaks to better understand why communities choose or reject interventions.
