Article Synopsis
- Adolescents in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in Senegal, face significant challenges regarding sexual and reproductive health and are at risk of experiencing gender-based violence (GBV).
- A study was conducted involving health professionals and community health workers in three Senegalese communities to assess their knowledge and practices related to sexual and reproductive health services and GBV.
- Results indicated that over half of the health personnel had good knowledge of relevant policies and protocols, and factors like training in gender issues and specific health services were associated with this knowledge and their ability to provide better care.
