In Africa, research has shown that adolescents learn about sex and reproductive health through their friends and the media, but they would prefer to receive the information from their parents. In 2005, the Population Council’s FRONTIERS in Reproductive Health Program, in collaboration with the Centre for Development and Population Activities, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Youth in Senegal, conducted a research project aimed at improving parent-child communication about reproductive health and HIV/AIDS. The study was designed to focus on parents/guardians and adolescent youth living in urban and rural Senegal and gain better understanding of interventions designed specifically to reduce risks to adolescent reproductive health.
