Abstract
Youth sexual and reproductive health in Bosnia and
Herzegovina:
Informing intervention strategies using quantitative methods
by Glen R. Abedi
Youth sexual and reproductive health represents an area of
healthcare that is in particular need of
development in Bosnia-Herzegovina. However, little research on this
subject has been conducted to date
to guide policy and programming. CARE Northwest Balkans, a regional
subsidiary of CARE
International, completed a quantitative survey on youth sexual and
reproductive health in Bosnia-
Herzegovina in 2006. Respondents consist of university students
above the age of 18. They answered
questions about their behaviors and attitudes associated with
sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and
related behaviors.
The largest ethnic group represented in the sample was Serbs
(71.56%), followed by Bosniaks (23.85%). The median age of
respondents was 22.21 years. Only 5.50% of respondents reported
ever having been tested for sexually transmitted infections (STI)
although 69.72% reported having engaged in sexual intercourse in
the previous year. The most popular sources of information on
sexual and reproductive health were TV & radio, printed
materials, and school. The effectiveness of these sources of
information as avenues for public health communications remains
unclear.
