Reproductive health services utilization and associated factors among university youth students in Ethiopia: A mixed-methods study
Utilization of reproductive health services is relatively low, with only 42.5 % reporting usage. Key factors influencing utilization include open discussions, positive attitudes towards services, and perceived HIV risk. Addressing barriers through inclusive, youth-friendly interventions such as peer education programs could significantly improve outcomes.
