CONCLUSION
Despite high acceptability among stakeholders, extensive community engagement before implementation, and the introduction of additional support mechanisms, this evidence-based SRH program showed suboptimal attendance that likely compromised its potential to impact SRH outcomes and the opportunity for that potential to be evaluated. Poor attendance at least partially occurred due to practical barriers to attendance at the individual, school, and society levels and included security concerns, competing constraints on participant time, and the lack of an after-school programming culture. Under such circumstances, the use of other evidence-based methods (e.g., combination prevention programs) or practical adaptions to move aspects of programs in-school or online may be considered.
