Adoption Rates and Knowledge Gains in Adolescent Reproductive Health Among Ghanaian Schools via Educational Outreach Campaigns: A South African Perspective

Adolescent reproductive health (ARH) in Ghanaian schools is a critical public health issue requiring effective educational interventions. A mixed-methods approach including surveys and interviews was employed to assess school-level participation (adoption rate) and individual knowledge improvements post-campaign. Adoption rates were found to be 75% among participating schools, with a significant increase in knowledge scores by an average of 20% across all educational levels. The outreach campaigns were effective in increasing ARH education adoption and knowledge retention in Ghanaian schools. Further research should focus on sustainability and scalability to wider populations.
