Change through the MI way:

KIT has teamed up with national researchers and partners to investigate the effectiveness of a new Motivational Intervention (MI+) approach. Our aim is to discover ways of motivating young men, specifically in Bangladesh and Kenya, to make safer choices about their sexual health and to equip service providers to better meet the needs of these young men.

Young men are often absent in sexual reproductive health programmes, as health workers struggle to find the right way of approaching this group. Information and advice often end up being provided in a ‘moralising’ way.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) can help address this issue, as it offers service providers a way to work on engaging with young men’s individual motivation in order to change their behavior. It helps to explore and resolve any ambivalence these young men might have, and is thus more directly goal-oriented.
