SRHR Illiterate adolescents Datasets

In Rwanda, as of 2021, the percentage of illiterate adolescents among adolescents aged between 15-24 was 13%. Despite the high rate of illiteracy among adolescents and the unique challenges they face when accessing health services, there is no single study that has looked at their access and utilization of sexual and reproductive health services in Rwanda. Moreover, the global and regional literature on the accessibility and availability of adolescent sexual and reproductive health overlooks adolescents who are illiterate, a particularly high-risk group. Therefore, we used multiple approaches to understand how illiterate adolescents access sexual and reproductive health services to inform policies to consider the unique challenges this particular group faces.
