Identification of barriers to adolescent and youth access to sexual health services

Identification of barriers and facilitators for the access of adolescents and young people to sexual and reproductive health services in the public and private network in Bogota.

This project was a mixed research project on the barriers faced by adolescents and youth in seeking sexual and reproductive health services in Bogota. The quantitative component constituted one of the most important compendiums of information reported by institutions of the contributory and subsidized regimes, which revealed deficient coverage of services in this population group. The qualitative component was nourished by the voices of adolescents and youth, caregivers, service providers and decision makers to identify barriers and facilitators in access to SRH services, for the sociocultural, institutional and political spheres that relate to each other.
