Provision of Reproductive Health Services for Adolescents--Report of a Study in Two Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Nigeria.
Olukoya, Adepeju A.
Early Child Development and Care, v120 p95-117 Jun 1996
Studied adolescent reproductive health services in two Nigerian states. Found that adolescents use health facilities mostly for general health problems. Only 6.1% (south) and 31.8% (north) of cases involved reproductive health, the gap attributable to maternity cases of northern married women. Reproductive health problems such as abortion and sexually transmitted diseases are perceived as serious problems for adolescents. (HTH)
