Reproductive Education and Sexual Abuse Among Individuals With Spina Bifida: A Mixed Methods Study
Among the young adults with SB who participated in this study, many were sexually active but faced significant barriers and gaps in SRH knowledge, increasing their risk of sexual abuse and poor reproductive health outcomes. Determining levels of sexual health literacy and screening for abuse are critical to improving SRH outcomes for this vulnerable population.
