Abstract
Background: - Young People are, highly vulnerable for reproductive health problems. The
situation is aggravated by low level of awareness, poor availability of service and health
service seeking behavior of youths. Reproductive health services for young people in Addis
Ababa are emerging in varying extent such as in youth centers. Youth Centers are a social
and recreational center intended primarily for use by young people.
Objective: - To assess the availability and utilization of reproductive health services in youth
centers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Method: - A descriptive cross- sectional study conducted between January 2013 and June
2013 and in ten youth centers of Addis Ababa, representing all sub cities by selecting one
youth center from each using lottery method. The study subject includes 423 young people
ages 15-29 selected using systematic sampling and ten service providers. Interview using
structured and semi structured questioner and checklist were the main research tools used.
Data entered using EPi Info and analyzed using SPSS statistical packages. Odd Ratio and
95% CI applied to measure the associations of variables.
Result: - of the targeted 423 respondent 407 response obtained for structured questioner, 232
(57%) were male and 175(43%) female. age group 15 to 19 account highest 159 (39.12%).
Staff pattern of the study youth center indicate that there is 10(100%) nurse and 5(50%)
laboratory technicians. the type of service available were voluntary counseling and testing,
family planning, reproductive health counseling, condom distribution and peer education.
Nine clinics have VCT service, four clinics family planning, three clinics peer education, and
all provide reproductive counseling and condom distribution. Concerning utilization
172(42.6%) respondent ever visited youth center reproductive health clinics. The major
reason of ever visit was VCT and condom. Main factors that affect utilization were lack of
knowledge 145(35.62%), lack of confidence 106(26.04%) and fear of being seen by friends
or family 57(14%). Regarding preference 119(29.5%) respondent wish the clinics to open in
weekend and 150(36.9%) service provider to be young and the same sex.
Conclusion and recommendation: - The RH services available in youth center are very
limited as compared with other African countries youth center and there is poor utilization of
RH services. Although respondent are sexual active, only 5-10% of those visit the youth
center come to the RH service clinics. The major factor that affects utilization was the gap in
8
information so Information, education and communication to increase awareness about
reproductive health should cared out and working hour have to include weekend.

Chapter One
1.1 Introduction
Reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity, in all matters related to the reproductive system
and to its functions and process. Reproductive health addresses the human sexuality and
reproductive processes, functions and system at all stages of life and implies that people are
able to have a responsible, satisfying and safe sex life and that they have the capability to
reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so (1).
Reproductive health service components include preconception care, family life education,
family planning, antenatal care, nutrition, delivery, postnatal care, reproductive tract
infection care, STDs/HIV/AIDS, reproductive cancer treatment, prevention and treatment of
infertility; prevention and management of complications of unsafe abortion, safe abortion
services where not against the law, active discouragement of harmful practices, and referral
for additional services (1,2).
World Health Organization defines adolescents comprising age groups between 10-19 years,
youth as 15-24 and young people as 10-24. In Ethiopian context according to EFEDR
national youth police- young people defined as age 15-29. Young people currently accounts
over 30% of the world’s total population and trends are upwards, particularly in the urban
areas of developing countries (3, 4).Young people constitute more than one-third of the total
population in Ethiopia (6).
Due to the changing conditions of civilization, urbanization and life style, the health of
adolescents is increasingly at stake. Sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDS and other
reproductive health problems are the greatest threats to their well-being. However, despite the
growing needs, there is no adequate health service or counseling specifically suitable for this
specific age group unlike children, mothers or adults (44).
The reproductive health problems of young people in Ethiopia are multifaceted and
interrelated. Forty-five percent of the total births in the country occur among adolescent girls
and young women, sexual violence and commercial sex work have become common
phenomena. As result, HIV/AIDS crisis and other reproductive health problems are spreading
throughout the country. The situation aggravated by the overall poor socioeconomic
environment and harmful traditional practices (5). Because of the complex nature of the
10
problems, youth reproductive health strategies demand a multi spectral and integrated
approach (6).
Despite the growing need to RH and youth friendly services, it is recently that service begins
flourishing gradually in government and NGO health facilities to various degrees. Advocacy,
awareness and educational programs to support utilization of RH services are beginning
spreading. Some clinical records indicate that most young people are increasingly attending
RH clinics spatiality to access contraceptives and condoms. However, statistics show that
until now the rates of STIs and unwonted pregnancies among adolescent is still remain high
in Addis Ababa. (8)
Youth centers are social and recreational center intended primarily for use by young people.
The youth centers support opportunities for youth to develop their physical, social, emotional,
and cognitive abilities and help to experience achievement, leadership, enjoyment, friendship,
and recognition (5, 6). Youth centers divided into three according to the range of service they
provide. Comprehensive youth center are those provide at list eight full services including
highly organized educational and recreational programs, middle youth center are that have at
list five full service including partially full filled educational and recreational programs and
moderate youth center are those provide more than three services (6).
There are good polices and strategies regarding young people reproductive health in Ethiopia
but the implementation of this polices are week. Despite the construction and having,
different department youth centers are not will equip, staffed and supported. Only 46 of 76
youth centers have RH service centers, some of them have no full staff or facilities to operate
and from those are in service most of them suffer in lack of materials, poor Clint-providers
relationship, poor attraction and retention of users. The absence of mechanisms and strategy
on how to increasing utilization and youth participation is other challenges
Study reports and other literatures on young people reproductive health are very limited to
schools and not comprehensive, some studies tried to reveal the magnitude of sexual and
reproductive health problems of youth and tried to recommend to Governmental and
Nongovernmental organizations for intervention (6). To date, little known about the
reproductive health service available and it is utilization in youth center. Information on
affecting factors of the subject is not will studied. Hence undertaking a study in this area
believed to provide information that could help organizations to improve future reproductive
health services offered in youth centers.
11
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Youth centers in Addis Ababa, although primarily organized for recreational purpose, they
are providing reproductive health service for young population visiting the centers. However,
there is limitation in the consistent availability of service in quantity and type, which hinder
youth from utilization of service based on their choice. Moreover, the reproductive health
clinics are poor in attracting, providing and retaining the young clients for regular utilization
(25, 26).
Despite the high needs in youth reproductive health, very few services were available and
provided in the past, which unmatched the centers service providing capacity. The women,
youth and children affairs office that are responsible for administering the youth center and
management of the youth centers gives attentions for improvement of service other than
reproductive health. There is limited effort and focus in improving the RH clinic achievement
and solving related problems.
The other thing that mentioned as limitation in the youth center RH clinics is the approach of
service providers. The life style and reactions of young people vary from those of adults. The
usual patient -physician relationship may not help health workers to understand their
problems. The health system should adapt a suitable strategy through restructuring and
formal training to make a more friendly and attractive environment for adolescents. (25)
The National Reproductive Health Needs Assessment showed that there are many gaps in
reproductive health services utilization. It indicates that young people are well aware of
family planning methods However, the utilization of family planning services was very low
and high rates of unwanted pregnancy and abortion complications demonstrated (12). this
study primarily focuses on identifying and assessing the extent of service availability in youth
centers and utilization by young peoples. In addition to this, it will also try to show the
possible factors that have been affecting service utilization and preference of youth towards
RH service.
Studies in young people sexual and reproductive health have been largely socio-behavioral in
nature and center mainly schools. It was recently that youth centers launched at woreda level
focusing on behavior culturing of youth and reproductive health service delivery. There has
been limited up-to-date research regarding availability and utilization of reproductive health
12
services in youth centers in Addis Ababa. It will fill the gap regarding to this and will serve
as groundwork for further research and investigation.
Information from this study will also help to re-orient RH services in youth centers, so that
they effectively meet the needs of young people and facilitate maximum utilization of
available services to protect their sexual and reproductive health. It does also explore the
factors that determine utilization of the services by young people
13
1.3 Significance of the study
Generally, most of the research on reproductive health that has done in our country primarily
focuses on school or in street children and Research done at the institution level commonly
focus on health institution like hospital and health center. Despite it is immense importance
there should be other mechanism to see out school youth to address the overall reproductive
health problem of young population.
Despite the contribution that youth centers playing in providing reproductive health service
and appearing to be alternative to the existing health institution still they are not able to
attract researcher’s attention. Researches ignored the reproductive health service binge given
in the youth centers some of them may mention indirectly, which does not address the whole
problem and phenomena as will. This research fill the gap regarding to this and contribute
allot to those who are interested in youth center reproductive health service.
The focus of this research was to gain deeper insight into youth reproductive health services
in terms of availability and utilization in youth centers. These studies also expose the extent
of available reproductive health service and utilization by target age group. That will help
concerned body to identify gapes and interfere in the best way to improve the centers
capacity.
It also Indicate some issues that are important youth center reproductive health service to
become more organized, attractive and comprehensive. It does promote the blooming of
youth reproductive health as part of youth centers where youths comes in mass, seeking of
different service. The research will also benefit Government, stakeholder’s, service providers
and program managers in developing plan to further improve the service availability in verity
extent in youth centers.

Chapter Two
Literature Reviews
Adolescence is transitional period from childhood to adulthood, characterized by significant
physiological, psychological and social changes. WHO defines adolescents as those in the
age group of 10-19, youth 10-24 years and young population age between 15 and 24(23, 24).
According to EFDR Youth Policy young population defined as age group between 15 and 29.
Young people aged 10‐24 constitute about a quarter of the world’s population, with nearly
three‐quarters living in the developing world, and they suffer a disproportionate share of
unplanned pregnancies, STIs including HIV, and other reproductive health problems (15).
The adolescent population in Ethiopia has been increasing during the last few decades.
Currently, adolescents constitute about 24% while youth 10-29 years constitute about 35% of
the total population (3). Our world currently cares for a historic highest number of
adolescents; about 1.2 billion adolescents need proper education, health and other life skills
to ensure a better future for themselves and their countries (23, 24).
Young population places immense challenges for the country to provide the required social
services such as health service, education and economic opportunities (9, 10). The problems
the youth section of the society faced goes much deeper into different and complex issues and
the situations, including gender inequalities, sexual coercion, rape, and harmful traditional
practices like early marriage, abduction, female genital cutting and the like (13).
The freedom to choose how many children they want and when to have them are the rights of
men and women. The rights to be informed and have access to have safe, effective, affordable
and acceptable methods of family planning of their choice and the right of access to
appropriate health care services, that will enable women to go safely through pregnancy and
child birth and provide with the best chance of having a healthy infant (14).
15
Youth having survived all childhood health problems, have been enjoying a relatively low
morbidity and mortality period in the past. At present, due to changing conditions due to
civilization, urbanization and life style, the health of adolescents is increasingly at stake.
Sexually transmitted infection, HIV/AIDS and other reproductive health problems are the
greatest threats to their well-being. However, despite the growing needs, there is no adequate
health service or counseling specifically suitable for this specific age group unlike children,
mothers or adults (25, 26).
Findings from 20 studies on youth RH provide important lessons about which interventions
are effective, what kind of impact is possible and what approaches have limited impact; they
quoted that Young people have limited access to reproductive health services that focus on
the special needs of adolescents. Inadequate knowledge about adolescent sexual behavior,
cultural influences, and the limited capacity of implementers hinder the provision of
reproductive health education and services to young people (15).
Sexual activity among youth in Ethiopia, particularly those residing in urban areas, has
resulted in large numbers of unwanted pregnancies, and illegal abortions, which pose serious
health and social problems. Studies carried out in the country indicate that complications
from unsafe abortion accounted for almost 55 percent of all recorded maternal deaths, some
13 percent of which occur among women under the age of 20. The number of cases of
sexually transmitted disease (STD), including HIV/AIDS, is also Increasing (6). The same
study also indicated that about a quarter of adolescents believe that health services are neither
affordable nor accessible to adolescents (6).
A recent study in Addis Ababa conducted among high school students indicated that 22% are
sexually active; of which 8% had symptoms of STDs in the three months prior to the survey
and 6% of the girls had been pregnant, with 70% termination in abortion. About 40% of the
students reported the use of at least one of the common addictive substances (alcohol,
16
cigarette, chat or cannabis (marijuana); 52% had mental distress and 11% had attempted
suicide in the past (16).
Several other studies in different parts of the country have also shown that adolescents are
increasingly affected by reproductive health related problems, mental distress and substance
abuse due to changing social norms that increased their vulnerability and risk. The mean age
at first sexual debut reported to be between the ages of 15.3 and 19.0 (14). Unwanted
pregnancy prevalence among adolescents reported to be 15% in Harare, 30.1% in Gondar
(15) and 50% in Kola Diba (16) towns. STD prevalence of 6.5% in 1995 and 4% in 1998
among out of school adolescents reported from Hawassa. (17, 18).
The use of contraceptives among sexually active adolescents in many areas of the country is
very low in urban areas the consumption of alcohol, chat and tobacco by adolescents is quite
high and use starts early during the adolescence period (18). Mental distress and suicidal
attempts also reported among adolescent students. About 7% of adolescents in Addis Ababa
and Hawassa town reported mental distress while suicidal attempts varied greatly 14.3% in
Addis and 3.4% in Hawassa (17)
In addition to health promotion, health services for young people will, at a minimum need to
include emergency services, routine treatment of common diseases, and regular access to
non-judgmental listening and support guidance and regular access to the health supplies that
young people require. By fulfilling the preference of adolescents, Youth friendly services that
have polices and attributes that attract Youth; health facilities can provide comfortable and
appropriate services that meet the need of adolescents and retain them for follow up
successfully (20).
In Ethiopia, young people get medical care through the existing network of health institutions
in the country (21). They are relative disadvantaged in their inability to access information
17
and services for their reproductive needs because of the absence of a youth – friendly service
delivery system. The service given by youth centers should be youth friendly that mains
accessible, acceptable Affordable, successful, safe and comfortable in place and times for
youths (22).
Peer pressure is the other important issue identified as the major factor resulting in risky
reproductive health related behavior among youth and adolescents. This is particularly so in
the context of the growing social acceptance of premarital sex, which influences decisions of
adolescents and other young people related to reproductive health. The influence of peer
pressure is also very high in the situation where the traditional parental control over
premarital sexual behavior of young people and role of family members is declining (28).
Factor affecting young people’s reproductive health utilization includes challenges that
expose them to making poor choices regarding their reproductive health such as Poor parental
guidance, homelessness, drugs, alcohol and substance abuse, limited survival options and
unemployment. In addition to that, inadequate RH/HIV/AIDS information, poor coping and
life skills, poverty, and high levels of stress which are a precursor for risk sexual behavior
resulting in early sexual involvement, STI infections and other reproductive issues including
HIV /AIDS are some of the factors that put young people at risk (27).
18
Other sub section of the youth population including street kids, young females, married
adolescent girls, youth who migrated to urban centers to escape early marriage or for
employment reasons including housemaids constitute the under-served section of the youth
who do not have access to proper information and counseling services. All of which as a
result suffers from poor decision-making on reproductive health choices, practices and lake
of accessible to service (29).
Generally, most of the research on reproductive health that has done in our country primarily
focuses on school or in street children and Research done at the institution level commonly
focus on health institution like hospital and health center. Despite it is immense importance
there should be other mechanism to see out school youth to adders the overall reproductive
health problem of young population.
The youth center offers structured and unstructured youth friendly service such as library,
counseling service, health education and reproduction health, first aid service, information
technology center, cafe and restaurant, indoor and outdoor games, shower service, club
meetings and so on (5). The services present in youth centers should be youth friendly that
Menes accessible, acceptable, affordable, successful, safe and comfortable in place and times
for youths (5, 6).
Despite the contribution that youth centers playing in providing reproductive health service
and appearing to be alternative to the existing health institution still they are not able to
attract researcher’s attention. Researches ignored the reproductive health service binge given
in the youth centers some of them may mention indirectly, which does not address the whole
problem and phenomena as will. This research fill the gap regarding to this and contribute
allot to those who are interested in youth center reproductive health service.

RH training on youth STI and VCT service family planning
friendly service
The RH clinics of youth center had family planning service but only four (40%) are currently
providing family planning service. Contraceptives found in these centers were condoms,
emergency contraceptive, pills and Depo Provera. Four (40%) clinics are providing
emergency contraceptive, three (30%) of them have pregnancy testing service, nine (90%)
clinics have HIV testing service and all have STI counseling service.
None of the clinics had basic clinic equipment like – stethoscope, scales, thermometer, and
sphygmanometer and fetoscope. All have a sink, running water and toilets that shared with
other offices in the building and electricity. All had BCC materials such as posters, pamphlets
and penile modal. None had media’s aids like TV and videos. There were no enough seats
and waiting place for clients in all clinics.
All clinics had shelf except one and medicine kept in a manner that ensures good
preservation. All facilities received materials and drug from the Health Centers, with the
34
exception one clinics that receive directly from zewditu hospital and condom distributed for
all from sub city HAPCO.
The reproductive health clinics of youth centers provide different kinds of service for youth
the major ones are Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT), Family Planning, Reproductive
Health Counseling and condom distribution, further more they facilitate peer education,
prepare training on reproductive health matters and first aid service. Documents from the
above-mentioned 10 youth center clinics reviewed. However, not all of them had available
records of the service provided; which made completion of this task not easy, but the
available document records from all clinics for other service pointed out. Maximum number
of young people visit the center RH clinics in summer time were December to February
account highest.
VCT service accounts the highest share of service provided second to condom distribution.
All clinics provide male condoms and have no Female condoms, but two facilities have for
display purposes. Nine clinics provide VCT service and one doesn’t have, summery of the
nine clinics result indicate that 563(65.3%) of male and 298(34.5%) female utilized VCT
service within last one year (June2012-June2013) one clinics doesn’t give the service due to
absence of trained providers.
Regarding family planning, four clinics provide short-term family planning service such as
pills, depo provera and emergency contraceptive. Five clinics stop providing the service
because of the absence of trained providers and one clinics have no family planning service
since RH service providing begin this is due to lack of resource and trained providers. The
summery from the four youth center indicate that 146 youth come for service within last one
year, 91(62.3%) for emergency contraceptive, 24(16.4%) for pills and 31(21.2%) for depo
povera.
Counseling services that provided not yet recorded, it is unclear to understand from available
records how much youth counseled, and on what topics dose the counseling covered. The
unique thing regarding counseling is that yeka sub city woreda 8 youth center RH clinic offer
free phone counseling service, this clinic also get technical and material support from zewditu
hospital which is not the case for others that they get material and drug support from nearby
health center and condom from sub city HAPCO health office.
35
Although, it is not regular and well-organized five clinics report that they facilitate peer
education programs and two youth center provide training on sexual and reproductive health,
the other thing is that six youth center clinics provide first aid service.
Regarding youth center Reproductive Health Service utilization 172(42.6%) respondent ever
visited the clinics at least for one time. The reason for visits were the highest 118(45.7%) for
VCT and the lowest 27(10.4%) for family planning. In the past one year 143(34.5%) youth
visited the RH clinics and the reason was 78(45.6%) for VCT with highest and 14(8.2%) for
family planning lowest reason. as shown in figure 2, respondents said the reason for today
visit of the youth center is library the highest 130(31.94%) and family planning the lowest

From the logistic regression, analyses of possible explanatory socio demographic and other
variables over reproductive health utilization indicate that some socio demographic and other
variables were significantly associated with utilizing of reproductive health service provided
in youth center. Being male sex (OR=1.48; 95% CI=1.09-2.02), and age group 20-24
(OR=1.23; CI=1.87-2.32) increased the likelihood of utilization. Grade 11/12 student
(OR=1.76; 95% CI=1.22-2.52) and having diploma (OR=1.45; 95% CI=1.07-2.08) are
significantly reported utilization of RH service in youth center. Unmarried respondent
(OR=2.3; 95% CI=1.25-4.43) have positive association with RH service utilization. Those
respondent live more than ten years in the study conducted woreda (OR=1.4; 95% CI=1.18-
1.77) significantly associated with utilization.
Those respondent whose both parent alive (OR= 1.27; 95% CI= 1.27-2.1) show most likely to
be visiting RH clinics of youth center. Family average monthly income more than 1000 ETB
(OR =1.46; CI= 1.05-2.04) and who did not know their family income (OR= 1.84; CI= 1.28-
2.65) have positive association with utilization of youth center reproductive health service
(Table 7).

Qualitative result
For the open-ended question if there are any areas of the clinic that need improvement or to
be more confidential the respondent mention that.
“Waiting place is uncomfortable there is high noise disturbance from indoor game users”
“Poor hygiene of the room,the surrounding and materials” , “most of the time the clinic is
closed,” , “The youth center and the woreda administrative office share the same compounde
this increase feer of youth seen by family or same one they know”, “Providers have no good
approach and care and communication skills,” .
For the question that, what should done to improve the service quality and utilization
respondent answered that it is better to separate the RH clinics from the youth center
building, the youth center should also be in separate compound from the woreda
administrative office and not to be in front of youth center library that will increase the fear
of binge seen by others and gat embarrassed or feeling shame due to their utilization. Service
delivery time should include time out of the usual working hour, mobilization and promotion
about RH to increase awareness and decrease fear, community toke show about RH should be
prepared.
Concerning the question if there is any additional service that should be included in the
system the following point was mentioned STI diagnoses and treatment, BP measurement,
full family planning service including emergency contraceptive, entertaining and educational
program, Pregnancy test, different brand of condoms, improving the room size of the clinics
and waiting place.
For the possible factors that prevent youth from visiting of reproductive health service at
youth centers in addition to what have mentioned the following reason also cited “Lack of
close relationship between youth center and youth” In addition, “The youth center has no
good name in the community so youth doesn’t want to be seen here” also listed.

Monday, 24 hour, until 8PM night and weekend. Assessment also done for these that
interrupt the discussion with providers they said there have been repeated in and out of
people (“ten times in and out”), the provider have no respect and have been joking on us also
stated.

CHAPTER SIX
DISCUSSION
The response rate for this study was 96%, which is significant to avoid risk of serious bias
and sufficient for most purposes therefore regarded as ideal for analysis and ensure data
reliability. Most of the respondents and reproductive service utilizes are male which is not the
case in other counters (36,37) this may be duo to factor that youth center consider by the
community as a place were jobless gathered and youth especially females doesn’t wont to
attend here. Concerning sexual behavior of respondent, 66.4% of respondent have sexual
partners and 51.4% are sexual active this result agree with other studies conducted in the
country (41, 42).
The research exposed that 88% engaged in premarital sex that is higher than the report from
above mentioned studs (32). The result on age at first sex indicate that 33.4% of respondent
had mead their first sex at 17 ± 2 this age is much lower than studies conducted in the country
and other African country(39, 41). These indicate that young populations are being
increasingly involving in early and premarital sex although the action is culturally and
socially unacceptable. The other thing is that 25% of respondent never use condom in their
sexual intercourse and 27% utilize condom sometimes, it is much lower with respect to
condom utilization than previous conducted studies at Harare and Southern Ethiopia (32, 39).
This may be due to the reason that youth consider condom decrease sexual satisfaction.
The service available in youth centers includes family planning methods (Emergency
contraception (30%), pills and depo provera(40%)), Pregnancy test (30%), VCT (90%), RH
Counseling (100%) and condom (100%). None of the youth center has STI diagnoses/
treatment, abortion care and other service available in other African countries youth centers
(36, 37). There are no enough seats and waiting place for clients in all of the clinics. None of
them has clinic equipment such as – stethoscope, scales, thermometer, sphygmanometer,
couch and feta scope. In addition, no media aids like TV, video or audio. This make the youth
centers of Addis Ababa very Poor as compared to youth centers of Botswana, Nigeria and
South African (36, 37).
Although, there is high termination of workers in the youth center clinics, the concerned body
are not active in early deploying of workers, this create immense gap in service providing
capacity of the center and enforce youth to return back, only five youth center clinics(50%)
have two service providers. In some youth centers, the nurses accomplish the laboratory
49
technician duty at the same time. The problem is not only in deploying service providers
there is also problem in training and equipping with necessary knowledge and skill. Only two
(20%) of nurses and two (40%) of the Laboratory technician trained on the topics essential
and that is directly related to their careers, these have impact on service quality of the clinics.
The respondent knowledge about the service available in youth centers assessed.
Accordingly, 59.3% of participant has knowledge on one or more service available but only
42.6% ever utilized RH service in youth center, the result agree with previous report from
school in Addis Ababa (31) and much higher than what indicated on studies conducted in
Ghana and Botswana (36). 56.1% Study participant reflect that they consider young people
are not properly utilizing RH service provided in youth center despite the high need for RH
service in this age group (32).
The reason for visiting the RH clinics was VCT 68.6%, RH counseling 40.1% and family
planning 15.6%. The reason for visiting is different from other studies done in Jimma town,
the report from Jimma indicate that most of the clients come for family planning service
followed by VCT (39) and this discrepancy may be duo to that family planning service were
available only in few youth center.
This study assessed the ever utilization of RH services that is 42.6% and the last one year
utilization of RH service 34.5%. Both result agreed with a report from other study done in
Addis Ababa (39) and lower than report from Tanzania (37) and the developed world (38,
39). This may be due to respondent lower knowledge and lack of information about the RH
service available on youth center.
The document review from the clinics record indicate that only small portion of youth have
utilized the clinics, more than 300 youth visit the youth centers per week but only 10-20 (3-
5%) of them approach to the centers RH clinic. These magnify the gap and absence of
promotion and mobilization that will initiate the youth towards RH service. According to
what documented, Youth visit the centers clinics mainly for condom and VCT service. The
documentation lack complete information, it is difficult to get full information regarding
users’ characters like sex and age the problem is higher in provided service type family
planning, counseling and condom distribution. This indicates the carelessness of providers to
documentation.
50
The analysis of IEC materials and visual aids that providers used in discussion and
counseling session with youth, point out that 39.3% respondent stated provider used picture,
drawings and broacher. None of the center has media aides such as TV/video or audio it is
better if considered in the future. Although, pictures and broacher help to increase
understanding nothing substitute the importance of media aids. This makes our country youth
centers poor in equipment than other Africa countries (37, 38)
Those utilized the service responded to the question that how they evaluate service quality
33.3% said it is good, 30.8% medium and the remaining respond that it is poor. Almost two
third of the respondent satisfied with the quality of service they acquired, the reason for these
may be related with the providers greeting and friendly fashion welcome of users and the
providers took their concern seriously. Most of the respondent said that they acquired
knowledge regarding RH and the providers explained information clearly, until they
understand it.
The report show that the approach of service providers is good, 81.4% from those utilized the
service mentioned that the time they spend with the providers was sufficient; they appreciated
by the service providers to rise if they have any question/ unclear and discussed properly.
This is much higher than from other studies done before (35, 36). 57% of the participant
stated that they satisfied with the service, it is much higher than previous studies (36) and
6.4%, respondent are not satisfied and judged the service quality as poor, the reason for this
include providers disrespect them and are judgmental, long waiting time to get the service
and absence of service they want. However, this is very low as compared to other studies
(36).
The study finding and confirm from other study(36) indicate that factors such as
inconveniency of service delivery time (8.1%), youth center located at far distance (4.4%),
lack of interest to RH service (1.7%) and judgment of health workers towards youth RH
needs (6.1%) record as miner factor that affect service utilization. The major factors that
prevent youth from visiting the youth center clinics were lack of knowledge on service
availability (35.6%), lake of confidence (26%) and fear of seen by family or who may know
them (14%). This is somewhat different from other studies (39, 40, 44, 45). This may be due
to our countries sociocultural factors that dominated by 76 absences of opens and close
relation between parent and children. Some other mentioned that they would visit if the time
adjusted out of working hour and if they know more about the service available.
51
A number of authors suggested the possible explanation for young people’s poor utilization
of available RH service. They state that confidentiality, fear of disapproval and lack of access
have significant effect on utilization. Most adolescent want privacy in needing RH service,
this is confirmed in the same report which indicate that young people do not want their Parent
or other who may know them to see in RH clinics and think that they are sexually active (40,
44,45). Unless having no other choice none of them prefers to utilize youth center
reproductive health clinics because they lack privacy and most of them share the same
compounded with woreda administration offices were people come for different service.
The assessment on preference of where youth reproductive health service should provided
indicates that, 62% preferred it to be in youth center and 26.4% on government health center
or hospital. The other thing 68.7% of them preferred service should be free of charge this
agree with other studies (37, 44), and the time to be rearranged as 38.9% in usual working
hours, 29.5% weekend and 20.6% out of the usual working hour. This result show that
service delivery time had significant impact on utilization, 49.5% of them choose the time out
of working hour and weekend this may be due to most of youth center users are students
similar with reported in other studies (39, 43, 44, 45).
Regarding respondent preference of service provider 40.9% preferred young provider of the
same sex, higher than what is indicated in other studies (31, 33, 39) this might be due to the
reason that young and the same sex may create comfort to youth to tell their problems freely
and consider they share common problem. Similarly, if the service is free of charge, it could
create comfort to those youth who cannot afford the price; those who can afford may prefer to
be seen in private health institution. Pregnancy test and different kind of family planning
method were preferred by youth to incorporate in youth center.
There is poor management in youth centers that gives poor attention for the RH clinics; the
youth center managers have no idea about the clinics functionality and already have no
interest to know it, most service are not being provided or stopped due to small problem that
could solved with simple intervention. The clinics are not equipped with materials and
instruments, this can understood from the fact that there is no basic clinical equipment, which
does not need huge expanse or investment.
The youth centers are not structurally fall under health sector they are under Addis Ababa
women, youth and children affairs which have no health professionals who can give support
and follow up for the youth center RH service providers. The providers have no trust on the
52
office and need the entire structure of the clinics to be merged to the health sector. The idea
more strengthen by the providers answer to the question, what should be done to improve the
service availability of the clinics and boost utilization, and they respond the following
important points.
- Attention should be give to improve the management competence, skill of service providers
and equipping of the clinics.
- Solving problems related to absence of budget, Poor supervision and technical support.
All interviewed providers mentioned the major problem and the root cause for poor service
delivery is that structural problem of the clinics they said it is better to shift the clinics
accountability and belongings to health sector than what is now.
Generally, the studies indicate that the existing reproductive health service clinics in youth
center are not fully understood, aware and utilized by youth. Although, more than 300 youth
per week youth visit youth center for different service they did not imagine, give attention
and approach to RH service. The other thing is that the clinics have limited service as
compared to other country youth center and they are poor equipped.
53
7. STRENGTH AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
• Ethical clearance from AAU, necessary arrangement from concerned body and verbal
consent from study subjects obtained.
• All governmental youth center that provides reproductive health service was included in the
sampling in order to make a representative study.
• The study complemented by qualitative method to explore factors that was not addressed by
the quantitative data.
• Information gathered from both youth center users and service providers that helped to
understand same problems from both sides.
• Only youth who visited youth center were included in the study
• Self reported information is subjected to errors and missed information
• Temporal relationship cannot be determined
54
CHAPTER SEVEN
Conclusion
- The RH service available in youth center includes VCT, family planning, condom and RH
counseling. It is very limited as compared with other African countries youth center that they
have STI diagnoses/ treatment, abortion care, life skill training and others.
- From the report one can conclude that there is poor utilization of RH services although
respondent are sexual active, only 5-10% of those visit the youth center come to the RH
service clinics.
- The research indicate that the main reason that push youth from visiting the RH clinics are
Lack of knowledge on available service, lack of confidence and fear of being seen by parents
or who may they know.
-Youth prefer the working hour of youth center clinics to include weekend, service fee to be
free, service like family planning including emergency pills and pregnancy testing to be
always available.

Recommendation
56
young peoples. In addition, identify whether the best structure of the RH clinics of youth
center to be in health bureau or to continue as it is now in women, youth and children affairs
