ABSTRACT

In this article, the attitudes, needs and priorities of adolescents in family planning, as articulated by them during

focus group discussions, are presented. Findings indicate that: (a) Ugandan adolescents face numerous barriers to

accessing family planning information and services; (b) they hold an alarming number of misconceptions about

modern contraceptives; (c) they lack reliable, trusted and non-judgemental sources of information, privacy and

confidentiality during family planning counseling, and (d) they don't know about contraceptive services available from

the community-based distributors. Suggestions are provided on how community-based distributors could improve

their outreach to adolescents and provide youth-friendly family planning services. (PubHealth.info Document ID:
