This chapter provides a high level overview of key sexual and reproductive health (SRH) issues in adolescent health with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa. The chapter begins by providing an overview of key targets and definitions relating to adolescent SRH and then goes on to describe the heterogenous nature of SRH needs of adolescents, highlighting their often overlapping and multiple needs as well as challenges and barriers to access. The chapter then provides a synopsis of selected SRH issues, including prevalence and public health relevance, as well as a summary of evidence-based interventions. The chapter ends with controversies and challenges, as well as recommendations for future areas for research. It should be read in conjunction with Chapter 31 on HIV in adolescents.
