The Communication Initiative
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Abstract 

The Second Chance Club, a high school–based intervention for pregnant and parenting adolescents, was evaluated to determine the repeat birth rate among participants. A retrospective case-controlled cohort study was conducted (participants, n = 50; control subjects, n = 255) over 3 years after enrollment in the intervention. Repeat births occurred in 3/50 (6%) of participants and 95/255 (37%) of controls (p < .05).
