Digital Health Literacy and Its Role in Awareness of and Access to Sexual Health Products and Services Among Displaced Youth in Uganda’s Informal Urban Settlements: Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study
Our findings reveal a generally high level of DHL but suboptimal awareness of and access to SRH services among urban displaced youth in Kampala. Improving SRH among urban displaced populations will require gender-responsive and culturally grounded digital sexual health interventions to increase awareness of and access to sexual health products and services.
