The link between adolescent sexual behavior and contraceptive use is significant.

Adolescents
who are sexually active often engage in risky behaviors, such as unprotected sex, which can lead
to unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Effective contraceptive use
can help reduce these risks by providing a method of preventing pregnancy and protecting
against STIs. However, access to and knowledge about contraceptives, as well as cultural and
societal factors, can influence contraceptive use among adolescents. Therefore, comprehensive
sexual education and access to contraceptive resources are essential in promoting safe sexual
behavior among adolescents.
