FoQus Case Study: Trinidad

In November and December 2007 a PEER (participatory ethnographic evaluation and research) study was conducted in two locations in Trinidad: Point Fortin and Sea Lots. Participants were women aged 16-24. The study examined how patterns of concurrent relationships are managed and maintained, and how they contribute to young women’s risk for HIV infection. Results from the study will be used to develop a communications strategy, which includes a mix of interpersonal communication and mass media to reach women with safer sex messages.

Collages

Point Fortin

Sea Lots

In order to synthesize emergent themes identified during interviews, peer researchers created role plays and collages. These photo collages describe a young woman with concurrent partners in each of their communities. Researchers used this information in the development of archetype narratives.
