Introduction: Young people's access to appropriate health information in Ghana has been marginal, hence their utilisation of existing services remains poor. Most sexual and reproductive health (SRH) policies and outreach programmes target adolescents, neglecting emerging adults who are equally vulnerable to SRH risks. This study seeks to elicit emerging adults' knowledge and experiences with SRH programmes, and their recommendations to improve the services for their needs.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the occurrence of head acceleration events (HAEs) in elite men's and women's rugby, focusing on factors like match time, player status, and field location.
- Data was collected from nearly 300 players using instrumented mouthguards, revealing a high number of HAEs linked to specific game actions such as tackles and rucks.
- The findings suggest that player status (starter vs. substitute) doesn't significantly affect HAE rates, indicating that reducing contact frequency could be a key strategy in minimizing head injuries in rugby.
