Knowledge of adolescents on abortion in Lagos University Teaching Hospital complexAkinde, Elizabeth Nkugbo 11 1900 (has links)
The study sought to assess the knowledge of adolescents regarding abortion in a selected area in Lagos Nigeria. The researcher used a non-experimental, exploratory, descriptive research design for the study. One hundred adolescents participated in the study.
The study found that many adolescents will not admit to having had an abortion. Moreover, the respondents gave different meanings for abortion, had inadequate knowledge of abortion and sexual and reproductive health. Cultural taboos and religious beliefs have a great impact on adolescents’ sexual behaviour. Most adolescents would not access abortions services because they regard it as killing an innocent baby.
Efforts should be strengthened to make contraceptives and family life education available and accessible to the adolescents. / Health Studies / Thesis (M.A. (Health Studies))
