| dc.description.abstract | The present study was conducted to assess parent adolescent communication on SRH issues among Ayer Tena preparatory school students, Addis Ababa. Mixed methods research design was used. A total of 393 (female =214 and male =179) adolescent students were selected using systematic sampling technique. A pre-tested, structured and self-administered questionnaire was used for the quantitative study, and an interview guideline was used to generate data from interviewee adolescents and pertinent professionals. To analyze the quantitative data of 378 (female= 208 and male= 170), Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 was used. In addition to descriptive statistics (univariate analysis), further statistical analysis such as Crude Odds Ratio and Adjusted Odds Ratio were employed to see the associations of single independent variable and dependent variable, and multiple independent variables and dependent variable respectively. 95 % confidence interval (CI) and 5% margin of error was considered during the statistical analysis. The qualitative data was analyzed thematically and integrated with the quantitative based on the study questions. Findings showed that 287 (75.9%) adolescents recognized the importance of SRH issues communication with their parents. 34.5% adolescents ever had discussed on at least two topics of SRH issues. Communication was mostly based on parent child sex similarity (mother-daughter and father-son). The study also found that there is a statistically significant relationship between having positive attitude towards parent-adolescent communication on SRH issues, having informed about SRH issues and having literate parents, and parent-adolescent communication on SRH issues. Conclusion was made and the implication was discussed. Key words: Parent, Adolescent, Communication, Sexual and Reproductive Health | en_US |
