Reproductive health is one of the problems that occur in adolescent life. Adolescents who have never been exposed to information about reproductive health from an early age are the main causes of these problems. Reproductive health service facilities for adolescents are available at the Puskesmas, but have not been properly utilized by adolescents. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of adolescent characteristics with the utilization of adolescent reproductive health services. The method used is descriptive. The sampling technique used was random sampling, as many as 370 teenagers who had used reproductive health services. Results. There is a relationship of age (p value 0.01), parental past education (p value 0.02), and parental income (p value 0.01) with the use of adolescent reproductive health services. Research recommendations are expected that community nurses can increase the scope of visits both at school and in families with adolescents so that adolescents are more exposed to information about reproductive health and are able to make use of available reproductive health services optimally.

This study was carried out to investigate the utilization of reproductive health services among youths in Owerri, Southeastern Nigeria. The study was a descriptive cross sectional study and the multistage sampling technique was adopted to select samples for the study. A well-structured questionnaire was used to interview the subjects and obtain data for the study which was uploaded into the SPSS version 21 software and the Chi-square was used to test for association at 5% level of significance. A total of 424 people were studied comprising of 276 (65.1%) males and 148 (34.9%) females. Results showed that only 106 (25%) showing good knowledge of reproductive health services while 318 (75%) showed poor knowledge.

Other significant socio-demographic factors include marital status (p=0.0001, χ2= 46.29), living pattern (p=0.005, χ2=6.93) and education (p=0.0001, χ2= 17.8). In conclusion, the study showed that the knowledge and the level of utilization RHS is still low among youths in the study area.
