    "description": "<p>Purpose &ndash; The purpose of this paper is to assess the magnitude of parent-adolescent communication on sexual<br>\nand reproductive health (SRH) issues and its association with gender and premarital sexual practice among<br>\nschool adolescents of Woldia town.<br>\nDesign/methodology/approach &ndash; School-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 368 unmarried<br>\nsecondary and preparatory school adolescents (15&ndash;19 years) in Woldia town. Simple random sampling was<br>\nemployed to select study participants. Self-administered questionnaire was used. Data were entered by EPIData<br>\nversion 3.0.2 and analyzed by using SPSS version 20.<br>\nFindings &ndash; In this study, 56.3% of school adolescents had parental communication on sexual and reproductive<br>\nhealth issues. The result of this study showed that adolescents who had history of sexual intercourse where<br>\n64% less likely to communicate with parents on sexual and reproductive health issues (AOR: 0.36 95% CI: 0.20,<br>\n0.65), but there was no association between gender and sexual and reproductive health communication between<br>\nadolescent and parent (AOR: 1.06, 95% CI: 0.64, 1.75).<br>\nOriginality/value &ndash; Parent-adolescent communication about sexual matters is one of the means that<br>\nencourages adolescents to adopt responsible sexual behavior. Many children in Africa are uncomfortable to<br>\nhave a communication about sexual and reproductive health issues with their parents because the subject is a<br>\ntaboo topic in most homes.</p>",
