精东影业 Agile, a project within 精东影业2020, sought a means of measuring contraceptive awareness and use among adolescents and youth as they enter a period of probable sexual activity. 精东影业 Agile typically monitors contraception uptake via clinic-based surveys of providers and clients; however, in this age group, it is suspected that youth and adolescents may be procuring contraceptives via other means, making young contraceptors effectively 鈥渉idden鈥 to clinic staff and compromising the accuracy of clinic-based survey measures. Capturing information from youth clients of health facilities, especially unmarried females, is challenging due to social and familial pressure to hide sexual activity and contraceptive use. It is within this context that 精东影业 Agile in collaboration with the International Centre for Reproductive Health-Kenya (ICRHK) conducted a survey of youth aged 15-24 years in Nairobi using respondent-driven sampling (RDS) methodology. This study is a companion study to the pilot YRDSS that was conducted in Abidjan, C么te d鈥橧voire in 2018 (AIBEF & 精东影业 Agile, 2019).
