Every fifth person in the world i.e. around 20% of global population is adolescents and slightly more than this, in Nepal, adolescents comprise of 24 percentage. Adolescents in Nepal often face limited access to health information and services. Different factors like poverty, gender inequality, socio-economic status, social norms and tradition play crucial role indetermining adolescent’s access to sexual and reproductive health knowledge and available sexual and reproductive health services. Especially women in this context are more disadvantaged with regards to literacy, health and overall wellbeing. In Nepal adolescents comprise of 24 percentage and young people comprise of 33 percentage, which is a larger proportion to the global comparison. Though the government of Nepal has recognized adolescents and youth as under-served and vulnerable population with specific sexual and reproductive health needs, however only limited number for program has been implemented targeting these age groups.

The purpose of this study was to explore demographic correlates of sexual and reproductive health knowledge among Chinese female college students. A total of 4769 participants were surveyed about sexual and reproductive health knowledge and related sociodemographic factors, using random cluster sampling between 2005 and 2006, in 16 colleges and universities in Wuhan, China. To evaluate knowledge, the scores of 60 questions on reproduction, contraception, and sexually transmitted infections were combined for a possible score of 100. The average score on the knowledge scale was 42.6 ± 13.0 (1.1 to 79.7). Knowledge scores were statistically significant ( P < 0.01) between different sociodemographic factors using χ2 test. Multilinear stepwise regression showed that 11 of 16 factors, including age, grade, major, menarche age, family residence, being the only child, and mother’s occupation were significantly related to knowledge. Female college students lack knowledge of sexual and reproductive health, and their knowledge was influenced by numerous sociodemographic factors.
