Highlights

Adolescents and young people aged 10–24 years comprise about a third of the Zambian population. This group faces several challenges in accessing sexual reproductive health (SRH) services. Further, adolescent girls and young women aged 15–24 years are disproportionately affected by poorer sexual and reproductive health outcomes. The purpose of the qualitative Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices study was to unpack the gaps in and opportunities for strengthening access to SRH/HIV/PMTCT/SGBV services for adolescent girls and young women in Zambia.
