Abstract
This cross-sectional study looks at the variables that affect the reproductive health behaviors of 500 individuals, ages 10 to 19, in a varied sample. The results show that cultural norms are moderately adhered to (mean score: 3.8) and that religion has a mixed effect on reproductive health. Good communication from parents (mean score: 4.2) is in contrast to a range of peer influences. Although exposure to sex education is positive (mean score: 3.9), 30% of respondents say they have no access to medical treatment. Mean score for media influence is 3.5, and 45% of respondents say they use technology heavily. Consistencies and discrepancies are found when compared to previous research, highlighting the necessity of context-specific interventions. These understandings guide focused strategies to improve teenage reproductive health outcomes worldwide.
