Sexual health literacy and sexual and reproductive health service seeking among young people in Türkiye: levels and determining factors
This study shows that limited sexual health literacy may restrict Turkish youth's access to sexual and reproductive health services. Strengthening sexual health education, improving access to reliable online information, and fostering youth-friendly health services including guidance by nurses are essential. These measures can ensure equitable, inclusive, and effective sexual and reproductive health care.
