University Students Choices & Uptake of Reproductive Health choices. Wading Through University Student’s Engagement In High Risk Sexual Behavior And Curving The Way Forward

      Аннотация: High risk sexual behavior and its consequences among university students’ continues to be a serious concern for learning institutions, parents, researchers and policy makers. This concern has been marked by the increased number of reproductive health interventions worldwide aimed at ensuring young adults have access to reproductive health information and services. In Kenya, a number of Universities have developed policies and set up programs to curb student high risk sexual behavior. However, this has not resulted in a decrease in high risk sexual behavior among students. In addition there is paucity of literature on studies assessing students’ uptake of reproductive health interventions in Kenyan universities. The purpose of the study was to assess students’ knowledge, attitude and practices relating to uptake of reproductive health services in Kenyatta University. “Human sexuality is just as vital, in fact the consequences of skipping math are less consequential than ignorance about sexuality. The misuse of algebra is not likely to cause an unintended pregnancy” - Don Ardell, 2002.
