Acceptability of a community-embedded intervention for improving adolescent sexual and reproductive health in south-east Nigeria: A qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Adolescents have limited access to quality sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services that are key to healthy sexual lives in many low and middle-income countries such as Nigeria. Hence, context-specific interventions are required to increase adolescents' access to and utilisation of SRH. This paper provides new knowledge on the acceptability of a community-embedded intervention to improve access to SRH information and services for adolescents in Ebonyi state, southeast Nigeria.

Methods

A community-embedded intervention was implemented for six months in selected communities. Thereafter the intervention was assessed for its acceptability using a total of 30 in-depth interviews and 18 focus group discussions conducted with policymakers, health service providers
