Women in the period of emerging adulthood (18-25 years of age) have the greatest rates of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. Despite this disproportionate risk, women's sexual and reproductive health needs during emerging adulthood are poorly understood. As a result, few age-specific policies or person-centered practice guidelines are available to reduce sexual risk. In this commentary we explore the unique characteristics of emerging adulthood that contribute to greater sexual and reproductive health risks for women. Current evidence on sexual and reproductive health outcomes of women during emerging adulthood and limited practice guidelines are discussed. Recommendations for health care providers, especially nurses, for guiding personalized care for women in emerging adulthood are discussed.
