Mobile Clinics and Sexual Reproductive Health in Accra Youth: An African Perspective
Abstract
Mobile clinics have emerged as a critical tool in addressing health disparities among young populations in urban areas of developing countries. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including a survey targeting 500 young people aged 18-24 and focus group discussions with 30 participants. Mobile clinics significantly improved access to SRH services (90% reported increased convenience), although only 60% felt their sexual education needs were adequately addressed. Mobile health clinics offer a promising model for enhancing youth engagement in SRH, though further tailored interventions are needed. Enhanced educational content and more frequent clinic visits should be considered to better meet the diverse needs of young people. mobile clinics, sexual reproductive health, Accra, Ghana, youth access Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
