Adolescents 360 (A360) is a project implemented by Population Services International (PSI) and partners with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and the Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF). The first phase of the project was implemented from 2016 - 2020 in Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Tanzania. A360 hypothesized that human centered design (HCD) could catalyze new insights into identifying and solving problems that limit adolescents' use of contraception. Despite initial promising results, A360 demonstrated very limited impact on modern contraceptive uptake among adolescents. The authors of this commentary were members of a technical advisory group to A360 and are uniquely positioned to provide insights on this project to complement those of A360's staff and evaluators, which are already in the public arena. Our analysis suggests that all stakeholders should take steps to rebalance their programs and investments to not only seek new solutions (i.e. game changers), but to also invest in the institutionalization of the solutions that have been generated over the past 40 years, prioritizing those that have shown evidence of effectiveness (i.e. adolescent responsive health service delivery) and those that demonstrate significant promise (i.e. social norm change).</p>","PeriodicalId":20899,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11365177/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142111407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eight studies used quantitative study type, six utilised qualitative approach, and three employed mixed-methods analysis. Two studies were conducted on sexual activity, ten were conducted on contraceptive use, four were conducted on sexual violence, and one study was conducted on risky sexual behaviour, whilst no study on sexual autonomy met the inclusion criteria.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This review showed that there were few or scarce studies on sexual activity, contraceptive use, sexual autonomy, sexual violence and risky sexual behaviour among women with disabilities in SSA and even where the studies were substantial (contraceptive use), the majority of the studies were conducted in a country. Future studies should consider examining dimensions of sexual health, such as sexual autonomy, sexual activity and risky sexual behaviour of women with disabilities that were not available or were scarce in the literature.</p>","PeriodicalId":20899,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11304614/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141898070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
