    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;Purpose &amp;ndash; The purpose of this paper is to assess the magnitude of parent-adolescent communication on sexual&lt;br&gt;
and reproductive health (SRH) issues and its association with gender and premarital sexual practice among&lt;br&gt;
school adolescents of Woldia town.&lt;br&gt;
Design/methodology/approach &amp;ndash; School-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 368 unmarried&lt;br&gt;
secondary and preparatory school adolescents (15&amp;ndash;19 years) in Woldia town. Simple random sampling was&lt;br&gt;
employed to select study participants. Self-administered questionnaire was used. Data were entered by EPIData&lt;br&gt;
version 3.0.2 and analyzed by using SPSS version 20.&lt;br&gt;
Findings &amp;ndash; In this study, 56.3% of school adolescents had parental communication on sexual and reproductive&lt;br&gt;
health issues. The result of this study showed that adolescents who had history of sexual intercourse where&lt;br&gt;
64% less likely to communicate with parents on sexual and reproductive health issues (AOR: 0.36 95% CI: 0.20,&lt;br&gt;
0.65), but there was no association between gender and sexual and reproductive health communication between&lt;br&gt;
adolescent and parent (AOR: 1.06, 95% CI: 0.64, 1.75).&lt;br&gt;
Originality/value &amp;ndash; Parent-adolescent communication about sexual matters is one of the means that&lt;br&gt;
encourages adolescents to adopt responsible sexual behavior. Many children in Africa are uncomfortable to&lt;br&gt;
have a communication about sexual and reproductive health issues with their parents because the subject is a&lt;br&gt;
taboo topic in most homes.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
