This trial will serve as an outcome evaluation of 'Adolescent Transition in West Africa' (ATWA), a school-based program in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger for adolescents ages 10-19. The overall objectives of the project are as follows: Impact: Improved sexual and reproductive health and rights of 472,180 adolescents. Outcome 1: Improved sexual and reproductive health and rights and gender equality knowledge, intent, and behaviors among 472,180 adolescents. Outcome 2: 500 health facilities offer quality adolescent responsive SRH services that are used by adolescent girls and boys. To evaluate program impact, an external evaluation will be conducted. A pre/post cross-sectional evaluation design will be used across two evaluation years.

Intervention
Experimental group
Description:
The ATWA LSE program will be implemented following a joint curricula development process with approval from the government in each of the three countries. The 'dose' of the intervention are once-weekly hour-long sessions for both in-school adolescents (session facilitated by teachers) and out-of-school adolescents (sessions facilitated by community leaders) over the course of the academic year (roughly 9 months), or roughly 30 sessions of exposure to the in-depth LSE curriculum.
Treatment:
Behavioral: ATWA
Control
No Intervention group
Description:
Control groups are comprised of adolescents (10-19) attending schools where the ATWA Life Skills Education (LSE) program has not been implemented, as well as out-of-school adolescents (10-19) who have not received the ATWA LSE program in their communities. Control groups receive "standard of care" educational opportunities. "Standard of care" in the case of this trial translate to the provision of standard Ministry of Education-sanctioned sexuality education, as already available in the adolescents' schools and communities.
