Applying a Human-Centred Approach to design technology supported Sexual Reproductive Health Interventions in Uganda
REFNo: SS467ES

The purpose of this study is to generate qualitative and quantitative findings and uncover insights regarding familiarity and perceptions of Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), including the barriers and drivers of uptake of contraceptive methods among adolescent girls aged 15-19 years from urban and peri-urban areas of Kampala and Arua. Regarding the ITH platform, the study will generate information about adolescent girls’ familiarity with and access to selected technological platforms.
