A qualitative study of parents and healthcare providers’ partnership in improving adolescent sexual and reproductive health services in Rwanda
Collaboration between healthcare providers and parents is essential for improving adolescents' access to SRHS, which can greatly mitigate health-related risks. Nonetheless, this partnership encounters obstacles stemming from insufficient awareness of available services, sociocultural influences, and a lack of parental understanding regarding SRH topics. It is imperative to tackle these challenges through focused educational initiatives and enhanced communication strategies to create a supportive atmosphere that enables both adolescents and their parents to effectively address SRH concerns.
