在过去15年中，青春期的性健康和生殖健康在许多非洲国家日益受到特别关注，这主要是因为艾滋病毒/艾滋病大流行席卷了整个非洲大陆，造成了毁灭性的影响，特别是在年轻人(15-24岁)中，他们约占所有艾滋病毒新感染病例的一半。然而，青少年往往得不到适当的性健康和生殖健康服务，原因很多，从保健系统失灵到寻求生殖保健方面的耻辱。虽然对青少年的求医行为进行了研究，但对成年人的态度和看法知之甚少，因为成年人在青少年的生活、青少年的性行为和获得生殖健康服务方面发挥了关键作用。正因为如此，古特马赫研究所与马克雷雷社会研究所合作，在乌干达的一个城市和一个农村对父母、社区领袖、教师和保健工作者进行了60次深入访谈，以了解他们对青少年性健康和生殖健康问题的看法、态度和经历。(节选)
Over the past 15 years adolescent sexual and reproductive health (SRH) has increasingly received special attention in many African countries mainly due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic that has swept across the continent with devastating impact particularly among young people (15-24 years old) who account for about half of all new HIV infections. However adolescents frequently do not have access to appropriate sexual and reproductive health services due to a host of factors ranging from dysfunctional health care systems to stigma regarding seeking reproductive health care. While research has been done on adolescents health-seeking behaviors little is known about the attitudes and perceptions of adults who play a key role in adolescents lives adolescents sexual behavior and access to reproductive health services. It is for this reason that the Guttmacher Institute in collaboration with the Makerere Institute of Social Research conducted 60 indepth interviews with parents community leaders teachers and health workers in one urban and one rural setting in Uganda to learn about their perceptions attitudes and experiences of adolescents sexual and reproductive health issues.
