Paper context
Pregnancy and childbirth among adolescents are major global health concerns. Adolescents in resource-poor settings have limited or no access to sexual and reproductive health education and contraception. School-aged adolescents are a significant target population for health promotion programs, particularly programs addressing sexual behaviours. School-based peer education intervention effectively improves contraceptive use, unmet needs, and demand among students. Similar programs should be implemented in areas where coverage of contraception use and demand is low.
