Inadequate access to health information and services, as well as inequitable gender norms, contributes to a lack of knowledge and awareness about puberty, sexuality, and basic human rights. This can have serious implications on young people s health and welfare as well economic development and poverty reduction. Given the importance of ASRH within the context of development as well as the paucity of data on the issue, the WBG conducted a global analysis and country case studies in order to: (i) gain a deeper understanding of the multi-sectoral determinants of ASRH outcomes; (ii) explore further the multi-sectoral supply and demand-side determinants of access, utilization, and provision of services relevant to identified ASRH outcomes; and (iii) identify multi-sectoral programmatic and policy options to address critical constraints to improving ASRH outcomes that can inform WBG lending operations and policy dialogue.CC BY 3.0 IGOABUSEACCESS TO HEALTHACCESS TO HEALTH CAREACCESS TO HEALTH INFORMATIONADOLESCENCEADOLESCENTADOLESCENT CHILDBEARINGADOLESCENT FEMALESADOLESCENT FERTILITYADOLESCENT HEALTHADOLESCENT HEALTH POLICYADOLESCENT HEALTH PROGRAMSADOLESCENT PREGNANCYADOLESCENTSADULTHOODAGEDBASIC HUMAN RIGHTSBIRTHSCONTRACEPTIVE METHODCONTRACEPTIVE METHODSCONTRACEPTIVE PREVALENCECONTRACEPTIVE USEDISEASESEARLY MARRIAGEECONOMIC GROWTHFAMILY FORMATIONFAMILY PLANNINGFAMILY PLANNING INFORMATIONFAMILY PLANNING USEFEMALEFEMALE ADOLESCENTSFERTILITY RATESFIRST MARRIAGEFIRST SEXFOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONSFRIENDLY HEALTH SERVICESGENDERGENDER NORMSGENDER-BASED VIOLENCEHEALTH CAREHEALTH POLICYHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SYSTEMSHEALTHY DEVELOPMENTHIVHIV/AIDSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUSBANDSINEQUITABLE GENDER NORMSINJURIESINJURYINTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR RESEARCH ON WOMENLACK OF KNOWLEDGELEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONMALE ADOLESCENTSMARITAL STATUSMARRIED ADOLESCENT WOMENMARRIED ADOLESCENTSMARRIED WOMENMATERNAL MORTALITYMENTAL DISORDERSMENTAL HEALTHMODERN CONTRACEPTIONMORTALITYMOTHERHOODNEEDS ASSESSMENTNUTRITIONOBESITYOLDER ADOLESCENTSONSET OF PUBERTYPOLICY DIALOGUEPOPULATION DISCUSSIONPOPULATION KNOWLEDGEPREGNANCYPREGNANT WOMENPRENATAL CAREPRODUCTIVITYPROGRESSPROVISION OF SERVICESPUBERTYRADIOREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH RIGHTSRISK-TAKINGRURAL AREASRURAL RESIDENCESEXSEX BEFORE AGESEXUAL ACTIVITYSEXUAL BEHAVIORSEXUAL INTERCOURSESEXUALITYSEXUALLY ACTIVESEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONSSKILLS DEVELOPMENTSOCIOECONOMIC DIFFERENCESSTISTOBACCOTOBACCO USETVUNIONSUNIVERSAL ACCESSUNMARRIED ADOLESCENTUNMARRIED ADOLESCENT GIRLSURBAN AREASUSE OF CONTRACEPTIONVIOLENCEWDRWORKERSWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONYOUNG PEOPLEYOUNG POPULATIONSYOUNG WOMENYOUNGER ADOLESCENTSYOUTHBriefWorld Bank10.1596/29646
