Knowledge, attitudes and strategies on contraceptive utilization among adolescents: views from beneficiaries and parents in City of Kigali
The findings highlight a need for targeted interventions that address the specific challenges identified, including the lack of knowledge and communication barriers. Improved education and awareness programs for both adolescents and parents, along with supportive community strategies, may enhance contraceptive utilization. A concerted effort involving parents, healthcare providers, and community leaders may foster a supportive environment that encourages responsible and informed contraceptive use among adolescents.
