Abstract
Adolescents are at a critical age, for sexual and reproductive health, since they are undergoing physical, social, and biological changes that may increase their vulnerability to sexual and reproductive health problems. Because of the sexual and reproductive health burdens in this age group, their engagement in their own needs and programs was advised to reduce this burden. However, despite the presence of guidelines in front, meaningful involvement of adolescents has not been observed. This necessitates further research to understand the hurdles impeding adolescents’ engagement in sexual and reproductive health programs.
