Jones (2014) considers experimental design as a design that takes a sample from a population and the data is generally collected by questionnaires. With experimental research, the researcher has a very high level of control over their variables. By isolating and determining what they are looking for, they have a great advantage in finding accurate results (Denzin & Lincoln,2013). pre- and post-design refers to measuring the learning received during the research; as a result of comparing what the researcher knew before in a pre-test and after what the researcher experiences in a post-test (Creswell, 2013). Pre- and post-experimental design is a research method in the social sciences in which in a controlled analysis the experimental factor is subjected to special treatment for the purpose of comparison with a factor held constant (Louis, Lawrence, & Keith, 2011). the pre- and post-design focuses on two variables measured on the same sample (Hegde, 2015). With pre- and post-experimental design, the researcher measures existing variables, such as SRHR and young men. Pre and post studies are able to study differences between individuals at the same time.
