Contraceptive use among sexually active school-going adolescents in three Southeast Asian Countries: a cross-sectional study
Age, number of sexual partners, psychological distress, parental support, and national context significantly influenced contraceptive use among adolescents in Southeast Asia. Enhancing parental involvement, expanding access to adolescent-friendly health services, and strengthening comprehensive sexuality education are crucial strategies for reducing the risk of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections among adolescents.
