| Abstract: | The prevalence of adolescent pregnancy in Uganda has remained high at 25% for the last 10 years despite the numerous interventions that have been implemented by the Ministry of Health and other stakeholders. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to evaluate the effect of providing school-based sexual and reproductive health services on the prevention of adolescent pregnancy and sexual behavioral change among adolescent girls in school. Besides, the study sought to advance a suitable school-based SRH model for use in adolescent pregnancy prevention programs in Uganda and other developing countries. |
| Description: | The provision of school-based SRH services is an effective intervention in the prevention of adolescent pregnancy among school girls. The establishment of school-based SRH services and adoption of the Consensus Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (CAPP) model in all adolescent pregnancy prevention programs would significantly contribute to the prevention of adolescent pregnancy in Uganda and the world. |
