Scrutinize Facilitator’s Guide

Scrutinize is a campaign from the partnership effort of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Johns Hopkins Health and Education in South Africa (JHHESA) and its 21 partners, the Levi's® brand, and the campaign incubator Matchboxology. The Scrutinize Facilitators Guide and toolbox is designed to help facilitate interactive discussions about the behaviours that place people at risk of HIV, using arts, culture, drama, and/or discussions in small groups. The guide is written for those who want to facilitate the topics as standalone workshops or as part of a series of workshops.

The guide uses illustration, gaming, "What’'s My Risk" cards, interpersonal communication, and posters, among a number of workshop techniques.

Scrutinize comprises eight animated advertisements (Animerts) broadcast on SABC, E-TV and in 307 clinics nationwide. The campaign aims to increase risk perception among young people (18 - 32 years of age) to HIV infection including: the risk of having two or more partners at the same time; the linkage between alcohol, sex, and HIV; and the exchange of sex for money or material goods.
