The reproductive health of adolescents and young people in rural communities of the South West Region of Cameroon is critical, especially concerning contraceptive use and abortion practices. Despite efforts to improve access to modern contraceptives and safe abortion services, significant challenges persist, including cultural stigmas, misinformation, and limited access to youth-friendly healthcare services. This study aims to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to both contraception and abortion among adolescents and young people, seeking to identify the key factors influencing these behaviours and the implications for public health.
