Abstract
ObjectiveTraining programs on sexual and reproductive health rank among the most effective strategies to empower individuals and engage in self-care in this field. This study aimed to explore the structure of a school-based sexual and reproductive health education program.MethodsA qualitative, inductive, content-analysis approach was used in this study. Participants were selected through a purposeful sampling method. Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews with 21 students; 7 key informants; and 3 focus group discussions with parents. Interviews were recorded and transcribed into text manually. Data analysis was carried out using the content analysis method and the MAXQDA11 software.ResultsThree categories of health services emerged from the analysis of participant experiences: 1) empowerment-based education model; 2) optimal educational characteristics; and 3) adolescent-friendly sexual and reproductive health services.ConclusionsThe study found that sexual and reproductive health education programs for adolescent girls should be based on empowerment, desirable educational characteristics, and adolescent-friendly mechanisms.
