Young adults face high risks of pregnancy
and STIs
Young adults face high risks of pregnancy and STIs. Moreover,
the fertile years prior to marriage are increasing, thus heightening
these risks. To help young adults reduce these risks and consequences,
they need information, skills and access to services.
Policy-makers, planners and providers need to understand how
to make reproductive health services more available to young
adults - what kinds of services they need, who can provide services,
and where to reach youth. Also, providers need to know how contraceptive
methods and approaches to STI prevention and treatment apply
specifically to youth. Other sections of this training packet
address these issues.
