1) The document discusses evaluation methods for programs that target very young adolescents (VYAs). It explores participatory and qualitative methods that allow VYAs to share their perspectives rather than relying solely on adult assessments. 2) Various participatory techniques are presented, such as card games, storytelling exercises, photo elicitation, and pile sorting, that can be used to evaluate changes in attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors related to topics like gender norms, fertility awareness, and HIV prevention. 3) Examples are given of evaluation designs for VYA programs that have used mixed methods with quantitative and qualitative data collection, including from structured interviews, focus groups, and photovoice exercises, to measure outcomes over time.
