A program in Northern Ghana tested of a school-based curriculum, outreach, community mobilization, health worker training and youth-friendly health services. Exposure to the program was associated with over twice the odds of using STI services, 89% greater odds of using perinatal services and 56% greater odds of using antenatal services.
While many Ghanaian adolescents encounter sexual and reproductive health problems, their usage of services remains low. A social learning intervention, incorporating environment, motivation, education, and self-efficacy to change behaviour, was implemented in a low-income district of northern Ghana to increase adolescent services usage. This study aimed to assess the impact of this intervention on usage of sexual and reproductive health services by young people.
