Reproductive Health among Teenagers in Sierra Leone

We Yone Foundation and Georgina (Gina) Adatsi are carrying out this qualitative study on measuring the level of reproductive health knowledge that teenage boys and girls already have here in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Your child's participation in this study will help improve our understanding of gaps within reproductive health, how reproductive health is understood, understanding female/male anatomy, and the importance of family planning methods. It will also inform us on how gaps in knowledge lead to higher rates of teenage pregnancy. Researchers will use the results of this study to inform policy makers and actors working in the area of family planning and to reduce teenage pregnancy. We want to be sure that you understand the purpose of this research and your responsibilities in it before you decide if you want your child to participate in the study. Please ask us to explain any words or information you do not
