Teenage pregnancy is a growing issue in Thailand. The number of births amongst females aged 19 or less as compared to all births in Thailand has grown from 12.5% in 1999, to 14.7% in 2006. The situation challenged UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) and the Ministry of Public Health to develop tools to be used as a catalyst for improving young people’s access to sexual and reproductive health information and services. Love@1st_Click iDVD is a project in collaboration between the UNFPA and the Ministry of Public Health to address this challenge.
The Love@1st_Click iDVD is a multimedia life-skills edutainment tool that highlights the issue of unsafe sex for young people (ages 10-18). The interactive DVD consists of a musical play with accompanying games that serves as a self-learning application. Together with the teacher’s guidebook it also serves as an optimal classroom discussion guide.
