Understanding barriers to young people’s utilisation of sexual and reproductive health services in Asia-Pacific countries: a qualitative systematic review and thematic synthesis by Daniel Mackay, Benjamin Gregory, Evi Germeni, Watcharakorn Riabroi

“…Thematic synthesis identified six descriptive themes that captured factors influencing SRH service utilisation: (1) navigating puberty; (2) knowledge and beliefs about SRH; (3) embarrassment and confidentiality concerns; (4) low decision-making autonomy; (5) traditional practices and religious beliefs; and (6) social and gender norms. Based on these, we developed an overarching analytical theme, ‘trapped in a legacy of shame’, which highlights the role of shame as a key emotion associated with young people’s utilisation of SRH services.Conclusion Our findings point towards the necessity of integrating shame-sensitive approaches and a social norms perspective in interventions aiming to improve young people’s SRH outcomes in Asia-Pacific countries.PROSPERO registration number CRD42023389653.…”
