Introduction: Although health promotion strategies have been made to promote reproductive health, women’s reproductive health problems have not dropped significantly. This study aimed to examine the relationship between early sexual behavior and reproductive health of women of reproductive-aged 15-49 years old for North Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Methods: Descriptive correlational design was used to examine the relationship between the age of first sexual intercourse and pregnancy complications, decision making about the use of birth control, and knowledge about HIV-AIDS.  Data were obtained from 585 women aged 15-49-year-old selected from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (SDKI 2017). Results: Cramer’s V correlation coefficient showed a strong correlation between age at first sexual intercourse and pregnancy complications and moderate correlation between decision making about the use of birth control, and knowledge about HIV-AIDS. Forty percent of sexually active women were 10-19 years old. In addition, decisions about the use of contraceptive strategies among those ages have the potential to be not users in accordance with rational contraception use because they might not seek health workers’ advice. This study also found a low proportion of women understood HIV transmission. Conclusions: Findings from this study affirm the hypothesis that women’s sexual behavior correlates with their reproductive health. Therefore, improving sexual behavior may improve reproductive health. These findings also may be used to inform the effectiveness of the implemented reproductive health programs in North Sulawesi Province.  Several culturally sensitive strategies are recommended to overcome problems and improve reproductive health.

Fertility experiences stagnation during the last 10 years (2.6 children) and it did not reach the target of national medium-term development plan 2015 for 2.1 children. Meanwhile, the use of contraception increased less than one percent, and mortality rate of children under five years old only slightly declined. This might be because Population and Family Planning Program is not a priority. This paper aims to analyze direct and/or indirect factors that significantly cotribute to children born alive based on IDHS 2012. The IDHS 2012 data collect 45.607 women aged 15-49 years as sample units. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics for univariate, bivariate (chi-square), and multivariate (multiple linear regression). Twenty-four variables have a significant relationship to the children born alive, eleven of the variables have strong effect to the children born alive. By taking into account control variables, the eleven variables contribute 66 per cent to children born alive. Child mortality is the most dominant variable that contributes to a children born alive This is in line with the theory of Alberto that said child mortality trigger to have more children. The results also explain that stagnation of fertility can not be separated from slow rate of mortality. Recommendations that developed by this analysis include the strengthening of communication, education, information, especially delayed age at first marriage, age at first birth and age at first sexual intercourse for young women, the lowest wealth quintile, low education through  The Information Center of Adolescent Reproductive Health Councelling; b). Partnership with the Ministry of Health, especially strengthening education and information communication and quality of services mother and child care program concerning the high contribution of child mortality to the children ever born.

Introduction. Over the past few years, the results of numerous studies have emphasized the importance of adolescents' insufficient knowledge about reproductive health (RH), which implies an increasing trend of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of adolescents about RH in the population of Belgrade. Method. The study comprised 292 students from three secondary schools in Belgrade involved in the research February 1-15, 2008. The semistructured questionnaire about adolescents' knowledge, attitudes and behaviour about RH was filled in by themselves in presence of a student-investigator who provided assistance when necessary. Statistical analysis included ?2 test and correlation analysis. Results. Most adolescents (70.5%) showed the medium level of knowledge about RH. In our study, 33.6% of adolescents were sexually active. Sexually active students achieved a better score on the test about RH compared with the students who have not had sexual intercourse yet (?2-test=34.003; p<0.01). The average age of the first sexual intercourse was 16.5 years for females, and 15.7 years for males. The students with a lower average grade in school education experienced the first sexual intercourse earlier compared to the adolescents with a higher average grade during the school education (?=0.485; p<0.01). The most common (73.4%) source of information about RH is mass media. Conclusion. The results of our study indicate the need for more intensive and comprenhensive educational programmes in the area of RH for adolescents in our country.

The Impact

Subject An overview of the success of policies on raising marriage ages. Significance Human rights campaigns against child marriage in developing countries have become ubiquitous in recent years. However, the global median age at first marriage has already risen significantly, especially for women, from 21.8 in the 1980, to 24.7 in 2000. Demographic trends show widespread delays in age at first marriage across Africa and Asia. Despite this global shift, the root causes of marriage trends in developing countries has been largely overlooked. Policy campaigns focus primarily on a rights-based discourse of girl empowerment, but the choice of marriage age is often determined collectively and in relation to considerations of a family's livelihood. Impacts Delayed entry to marriage improves the health and well-being of women, including improved education rates, and delays in childbearing. Rising marriage age is correlated with fertility declines, which improves child survival and economic growth at the household level. Women who marry later are more productive members of the workforce, improving national economic indicators. The disconnect between demographics and policy discourse wastes aid resources and limits the impact of child marriage prevention campaigns.
