Assessment of Youth-Friendly Service Quality and Associated Factors in Bole Sub-city, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: A Cross-Sectional Study

YFS quality in Bole Sub-City, Addis Ababa, was sub-optimal. This can be attributed to several influencing factors, including gender-related disparities (particularly impacting female beneficiaries), suboptimal YFS process quality, insufficient YFS awareness among beneficiaries, and the presence of stigma and discrimination. These findings critically underscore the importance of not only improving the procedural aspects of YFS delivery but also significantly enhancing youth awareness and actively combating stigma and discrimination within healthcare settings. Therefore, targeted interventions are urgently needed to elevate service standards and ensure equitable, high-quality YFS for all youth.

Abstract

YFS quality in Bole Sub-City, Addis Ababa, was sub-optimal. This can be attributed to several influencing factors, including gender-related disparities (particularly impacting female beneficiaries), suboptimal YFS process quality, insufficient YFS awareness among beneficiaries, and the presence of stigma and discrimination. These findings critically underscore the importance of not only improving the procedural aspects of YFS delivery but also significantly enhancing youth awareness and actively combating stigma and discrimination within healthcare settings. Therefore, targeted interventions are urgently needed to elevate service standards and ensure equitable, high-quality YFS for all youth.
