摘要

导言:加纳年轻人获得适当保健信息的机会很少,因此他们对现有服务的利用仍然很差。大多数性健康和生殖健康政策和外联方案以青少年为目标,忽视了同样易受性健康和生殖健康风险影响的初生成人。本研究旨在了解初出期成人对性健康和生殖健康计划的了解和经验,并提出改善服务以满足其需求的建议。方法:使用来自阿克拉郊区18-24岁青年的30次深度访谈和10次焦点小组讨论的数据,我们提供了新兴成年人对性健康和生殖健康计划的经验和改进建议,特别是年轻男性对性健康和生殖健康计划的看法。结果:参与者分为三个社会经济群体:大专学生、非正式工人和学徒。初生成人接受的主要性健康和健康教育来自他们早期的初中和高中正规教育,而不是他们目前的学校或工作场所。然而,他们指出,他们在生命早期获得的性健康与生殖健康教育方案和信息不足以解决当代青年面临的实际问题。此外,性健康和生殖健康方案在不友好的环境中运作,带有负面信息,导致他们缺乏重要信息。讨论:要使性健康和生殖健康计划取得成功,就必须针对青少年的性健康和生殖健康需求,采用不同的当代方法。主要建议包括提供适合新成人当前人口和社会经济群体的性健康和生殖健康教育,并提供适当的性健康和生殖健康内容和青年友好型社区中心。

What emerging adults say about the appropriateness of sexual and reproductive health programmes: evidence from a suburb in Accra, Ghana.

Introduction: Young people's access to appropriate health information in Ghana has been marginal, hence their utilisation of existing services remains poor. Most sexual and reproductive health (SRH) policies and outreach programmes target adolescents, neglecting emerging adults who are equally vulnerable to SRH risks. This study seeks to elicit emerging adults' knowledge and experiences with SRH programmes, and their recommendations to improve the services for their needs.

Methods: Using data from 30 in-depth interviews and 10 focus group discussions with youth aged 18-24 years in a suburb of Accra, we provide insights on emerging adults' experiences with SRH programmes and their recommendations for their improvement, as well as young men's perspectives on SRH programmes, in particular.

Results: The participants were in three socio-economic groups: tertiary students, informal workers and apprentices. The main SRH education that the emerging adults had received was from their earlier formal education in Junior and Senior High Schools but not in their current places of school or work. However, they indicate that the SRH education programmes and information they received earlier in life were inadequate to tackle pragmatic issues that contemporary youth face. Furthermore, SRH programmes operate in unfriendly environments with negative messages that cause them to lack vital information.

Discussion: For the success of SRH programmes, the youth should be targeted with diverse contemporary approaches specific for their SRH needs. Key recommendations comprised making available SRH education tailored for emerging adults' current demographic and socio-economic groups, and providing appropriate SRH content and youth-friendly community centres.
