Knowledge of fertile period and associated factors among adolescent girls and young women in Tanzania: a nationwide survey
This study revealed the factors impacting knowledge of fertile period among AGYW, highlighting the roles of educational attainment, media exposure, healthcare access, and geographical location. Increased education and health service access correlate with better knowledge. To address these challenges, tailored interventions that account for above would be essential. Ultimately, enhancing fertile period awareness necessitates engaging educational programs across various platforms, empowering AGYW to make informed reproductive health choices. Further research needs to be conducted to monitor the knowledge on fertile periods.
