Adolescent-parent communication on sexual and reproductive health issues amongst secondary school students in Western Region 1 of The Gambia.

Background: Adolescent-parent communication about sexual issues is a challenging issue worldwide. In The Gambia, many traditional communities limit such communication and this can have an adverse influence on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes and behaviours in adolescents.

Aim: The study assessed adolescent-parent communication on selected SRH issues amongst secondary school students.
