Youth-Friendly Health Services Survey |
1. Availability of youth-friendly health services
Youth-friendly services are those that effectively attract young people, respond to their needs, and retain young clients for continuing care. Youth- friendly services provide health services based on a comprehensive understanding of what young people in a given society/community want. They are based on an understanding of and respect for the realities of young people’s lives, especially with regards to their sexual and reproductive health. Careful consideration needs to be given to identify which populations of young people are being reached, which are not, and why. The aim is to provide all young people with services they trust and which they feel are intended for them
