  • Title: World Population Day theme -- adolescent reproductive health.
    Journal: Popul Headl; 1997; (259):1-2. PubMed ID: 12348040.
    Abstract:
    July 11 is World Population Day. More than 100 countries including those in the ESCAP region and elsewhere around the world commemorated the day with special events. The theme for 1997 was adolescent reproductive health care, with particular focus upon the need to provide adolescents with sex education and reproductive health care so that they can make informed choices, including how to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. There are more than 1 billion people in the world aged 15-24 years. Adolescents all over the world want and need information on sexuality and sexual health so that they are aware of the choices open to them and have the appropriate information and services to help them make the right decisions. Past population and family planning programs have focused mainly upon married couples at the expense of providing for the reproductive health needs of adolescents and young adults.
