ABSTRACT

The provision of comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) accords opportunities for scientifically accurate information about sexual and reproductive health (SRH). We used a mixed-methods study to characterise adolescent SRH knowledge, attitudes and service utilisation experiences in the context of CSE implementation in Zambia. In-school young people aged 12–24 years (N = 1,612) in the North-Western Province were randomly surveyed. A 29-item index was constructed to measure alignment of knowledge, attitudes and values (KAV) with the CSE curriculum. Logistic regression, stratifying by sexual debut status, modelled associations of past-year HIV counselling and testing and family planning service access, respectively, with CSE-KAV index scores. Focus group discussions further explored perceptions of and experiences accessing SRH services. Despite moderate SRH knowledge and acceptability of SRH services, fewer than half of sexually experienced young people reported accessing SRH services. Among sexually experienced youth, neither HIV testing nor family planning service utilisation in the previous year were associated with higher CSE-KAV index scores. Salient barriers to SRH service uptake included limited perceived benefits, unsupportive household and community environments, and negative interactions with health providers. To increase accessibility and uptake of youth SRH services, linking school-based CSE to SRH services is recommended.

赞比亚在校青少年性与生殖健康知识、态度和服务吸收障碍:一项混合方法研究

摘要

提供全面的性教育 (CSE) 为获取有关性与生殖健康 (SRH) 的科学准确信息提供了机会。我们使用混合方法研究在赞比亚实施全面性教育的背景下描述青少年 SRH 知识、态度和服务利用经验。随机调查了西北省 12-24 岁(N = 1,612)在校青年。构建了一个 29 项指标来衡量知识、态度和价值观 (KAV) 与 CSE 课程的一致性。Logistic 回归,按首次性行为状态分层,分别用 CSE-KAV 指数分数对过去一年的 HIV 咨询和检测和计划生育服务获取之间的关联进行建模。焦点小组讨论进一步探讨了对获得 SRH 服务的看法和经验。尽管 SRH 知识和 SRH 服务的可接受性中等,但只有不到一半的有性经验的年轻人报告获得 SRH 服务。在有过性经历的青年中,上一年的 HIV 检测和计划生育服务的利用与较高的 CSE-KAV 指数得分无关。接受 SRH 服务的主要障碍包括有限的感知利益、不支持的家庭和社区环境以及与卫生提供者的负面互动。为了提高青少年 SRH 服务的可及性和接受度,建议将基于学校的 CSE 与 SRH 服务联系起来。上一年的 HIV 检测和计划生育服务的使用均与较高的 CSE-KAV 指数得分无关。接受 SRH 服务的主要障碍包括有限的感知利益、不支持的家庭和社区环境以及与卫生提供者的负面互动。为了提高青少年 SRH 服务的可及性和接受度,建议将基于学校的 CSE 与 SRH 服务联系起来。上一年的 HIV 检测和计划生育服务的使用均与较高的 CSE-KAV 指数得分无关。接受 SRH 服务的主要障碍包括有限的感知利益、不支持的家庭和社区环境以及与卫生提供者的负面互动。为了提高青年 SRH 服务的可及性和接受度,建议将基于学校的 CSE 与 SRH 服务联系起来。
