Abstract:
Health outreach interventions play a critical role in improving and extending the reach of health care for adolescents through activities such as health education, case management, basic health screening, and facilitating access to sexual and reproductive health information and services. These activities can directly and indirectly improve health outcomes of adolescents. Project based health organizations providing sexual and reproductive health information and services, are investing heavily on health outreaches targeted at at-risk and sexually active adolescents. Notwithstanding the heavily investments on health outreach interventions, few studies have examined the relationship between health outreach interventions and delivery of sexual and reproductive health information and services for urban adolescents.
