School-based sexual and reproductive health services for prevention of adolescent pregnancy
Kirungi, Gloria Kasozi
Date:
2021
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.
