This book presents a comprehensive and analytical account of the qualitative component of a large intervention study of sexual behaviour change undertaken in rural north-western Tanzania. . . Relevant definitions and concepts are explained in full for readers. . . The particular strength of this book lies in the study findings, which contain rich cultural knowledge that will prove invaluable to other researchers, particularly non-Africans. Equally illuminating is the series of case studies that describe in depth the backgrounds, lives and sexual experiences of individual participants. . . . This is a well-written book of great practical value to both the qualitative and quantitative researcher working in the context of sexual behaviour change in Africa and elsewhere.
