mHealth interventions: are they effective in enhancing adolescent sexual and reproductive health service uptake?
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Globally, adolescents face challenges regarding their sexual and reproductive health (SRH), such as limited access to contraceptives, condoms, and information on safe sex practices. The widespread use of mobile phone devices has prompted experts to develop mobile health (mHealth) interventions to reach young people more effectively. HSRC researchers have scoped the literature to estimate how these interventions have enhanced SRH knowledge and attitudes among adolescents in low-, middle- and high-income countries. The findings showed that although mHealth interventions may improve SRH knowledge, more research is required to understand the effect of the interventions on influencing SRH behaviours and practices.
