Adults’ perceptions of adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health: qualitative evidence from Uganda. Occasional Report, New York: Guttmacher Institute, (35).https://nru.uncst.go.ug/handle/123456789/7965Over the past 15 years, adolescent sexual and reproductive health (SRH) has increasingly received special attention in many African countries mainly due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic that has swept across the continent with devastating impact, particularly among young people (15–24 years old) who account for about half of all new HIV infections. However, adolescents frequently do not have access to appropriate sexual and reproductive health services due to a host of factors ranging from dysfunctional health care systems to stigma regarding seeking reproductive health care. While research has been done on adolescents’health-seeking behaviors, little is known about the attitudes and perceptions of adults who play a key role in adolescents’ lives, adolescents’ sexual behavior and access to reproductive health services. It is for this reason that the Guttmacher Institute, in collaboration with the Makerere Institute of Social Research, conducted 60 indepth interviews with parents, community leaders, teachers and health workers in one urban and one rural setting in Uganda to learn about their perceptions, attitudes and experiences of adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health issues.enQualitative EvidenceAdults’PerceptionsAdolescents’ Sexual and Reproductive HealthTechnical Report
