description This study aimed to determine the effects of education intervention on the knowledge of some reproductive health issues amongst secondary school students. It was longitudinal and interventional study carried out in two phases. Participants were adolescents and young adults randomly selected from secondary establishments using a Probability Proportional to Size sampling method. In phase 1, data were obtained by the use of questionnaire and analyzed using Epi-Info 6.04 and SPSS version 17.0. Education intervention was utilized in 3 randomly selected schools (experiment), but not in 3 others (control). Phase 2 carried out 6 months after the end of the first intervention consisted of collecting baseline data. There was a significant association between knowledge on unintended pregnancy and STIs mainly with type of establishment, class, age group, sex, religion (p

Phase 2 carried out 6 months after the end of the first intervention consisted of collecting baseline data. There was a significant association between knowledge on unintended pregnancy and STIs mainly with type of establishment, class, age group, sex, religion (p&lt;0.001 respectively) and being sexually active (p=0.016). There was a significant increase of awareness in the experimental schools (34.1% vs 76.5%, p&lt;0.0001), but not in the control schools (34.5% vs 35.5%, p&gt;0.10). Health education had a significant impact on the knowledge of participants. We recommend reproductive health education through the framework of school to be used as a national policy in African developing countries. Cette étude visait à déterminer les effets de l'intervention éducative sur les connaissances en santé reproductive chez les élèves du secondaire. Il s'agissait d'une étude longitudinale et interventionnelle réalisée en deux phases. Les participants étaient des adolescents et jeunes adultes choisis au hasard dans des établissements secondaires de Douala, à l'aide d'une méthode d'échantillonnage probabiliste proportionnelle à la taille. Dans la phase 1, les données ont été obtenues à l'aide de questionnaires et analysées à l'aide des logiciels Epi-Info 6.04 et SPSS version 17.0. L'intervention éducative a été utilisée dans 3 écoles choisies au hasard (expérimentales), mais pas dans 3 autres (contrôle). La phase 2 réalisée 6 mois plus tard a consisté à collecter des données de base. Il y avait une association significative entre les connaissances et le type d'établissement, la classe, l'âge, le sexe, la religion (p&lt;0,001 respectivement) et être sexuellement actif (p = 0,016). Il y a eu une augmentation significative des connaissances dans les écoles expérimentales (34,1% contre 76,5%, p&lt;0,0001), mais pas dans celles témoins (34,5% contre 35,5%, p&gt;0,10).
