Most AYA (87 %) reported that they would most prefer to access health services at a public health facility, and this did not differ substantially by age or sex. AYA expanded upon these findings in FGDs, where preference for dedicated space and a standalone AYA clinic were favored. Participants were divided about using school-based health services (79 %); with 91 % of females and 67 % of males supporting this model. Lower proportions of AYA indicated they would be very likely/likely to use health services delivered via mobile bus (42 %) or virtual services (31 %). Ultimately, AYA are a heterogenous and diverse population who need tailored AYFHS with multiple service delivery models to improve access to care. Despite this, the present analysis demonstrates a strong preference among AYA for accessing AYFHS in public health facilities with dedicated space or a standalone building.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101183,"journal":{"name":"SSM - Health Systems","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145464869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Programme design features such as safeguards for non-incentivised services and adequate funding for facility investment with provider autonomy influenced performance outcomes. Additionally, contextual factors such as trust in the system mitigated programme delays, while decentralised procurement systems enhanced P4P effectiveness.

Recommendations emphasize the importance of context-sensitive strategies that integrate local knowledge systems, strengthen leadership, and embed implementation research.
