F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Narrative has been shown to motivate and support health behavior change in a far more engaging and three-dimensional way than informational approaches. Yet the use of narrative for behavior change among young people is often fragmented by the different public health discourses and sub-disciplines of behavior change, narrative/entertainment-education, and AYSRH. Each discipline looks at the topic through its own lens, which has led “narrative + behavior change + youth” to often be less than the sum of its parts. The discussions at this event will address the different storytelling methods and their impacts on behavior change, as well as the best-suited approaches for youth-related sexual and reproductive health problems.

Presentations from specialists in the fields of AYSRH, behavior change, and narrative will examine the theoretical underpinnings and practical implications of addressing youth health needs.
