Operational Research in ASK

Young people’s access to trustworthy information on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights is an essential first step to improving young people’s sexuality. Partner organizations therefore develop and pilot information strategies through Electronic, Mobile or traditional media platforms. Operational research was done to understand how these strategies can become more effective in increasing young people’s correct and comprehensive knowledge of SRHR.

Young people around the world still face multiple barriers in accessing SRH services and contraception. Operational research was done to understand how we can increase their utilization of services and contraceptives, also among those with special needs.

Meaningful Youth Participation is a key component of our SRHR programs. We strive for the participation of young people in all aspects of programming and research. But what does this look like in practice? Operational research was done to gain a more in depth understanding of this process.
