Building Individual and Social Assets: Can We Do Better to Address Adolescent SRH?

April 12, 2016 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join the Institute for Reproductive Health at Georgetown University, USAID, and the Search Institute for a USAID-hosted presentation highlighting the results of a cross-sectional survey among 10 to 14 year-old girls and boys, and implications of these results on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programming for very young adolescents globally. In partnership with USAID and Search Institute, the Institute for Reproductive Health (IRH) at Georgetown University explored the links between individual and social assets — as measured by the Developmental Assets Profile — of very young adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health outcomes in northern Uganda. The study was conducted in 2013-14 and provides important evidence of the links between adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health, and their individual assets and the valuable resources in the environment around them. Presenter Kim Ashburn, IRH Senior Researcher, is the IRH collaborator on the study and led the development of the SRH indicators.
