Evidence
ObservationalUnknown
Jurawan et al. (2009): new HIV-positive cases fell about 16% from 2003-04 and kept falling through 2007; street-intercept survey of 599 people exposed to at least one campaign found 92.7% aware of WYP; 23.7% reported condom use after exposure; Know Your Status exposure associated with testing (p=.016). Cross-sectional, no comparison group; the fall in diagnoses cannot be attributed to the campaign.

Research notes
Abstract read via PubMed 2026-10-22. Sponsor, start year and channels (tv is a placeholder) are not stated in the abstract: inferred from its link to the National Strategic Plan (from 2004) and should be checked against Ministry of Health / National AIDS Coordinating Committee materials. Agency not found. The only evaluated Caribbean HIV mass-media campaign found in this pass; 'outcome' left unknown because the evaluation cannot separate campaign effects.
