The study examined the influence of
socio-economic, culture, sexuality education and risky behaviour on adolescent
reproductive health in selected secondary schools in Kosofe and Shomolu Local
Government Areas of Lagos State.
The
survey research design was adopted for the study. 150 participants selected
through random sampling technique constituted sample for the study. The
variables studies include knowledge, socio economic status, risky sexual
behaviour, peer pressure and adolescents’ reproductive health problems. The
research instrument was a self-developed, structured and validated
questionnaire. Data analysis was done with the descriptive statistics of
frequency counts and percentage while the chi-square (X2) was used
for hypotheses testing at 0.05 alpha level of significance.
The
results revealed that the variables socio-economic, sexuality education,
influenced adolescent sexual behaviour and reproductive health problems. For
example knowledge 90 (60%), socio-economic 85 (56%), sexuality education 75
(50%), sexual risky behaviour 91 (61%) and adolescents’ reproductive health
problem 87 (58%). The Chi-square values are as follows: (H01 =X2
cal = 132.52, X2 tab = 26.30, df = 16, P>0.05; H02
= X2cal = 22.43, df = 36, X2 tab = 20.97, P>0.05;
H03 = X2 cal = 22.80, X2 tab = 16.58, df = 16,
P>0.05; and H04 = X2 cal = 47.81, X2
tab = 36.71, df = 25, P>0.05).
The
following conclusions were made that:
1.
A
significant influence of family socio-economic status.
2.
Sexuality
education on adolescents’ reproductive health problems exist, Mass media
effects will significantly influence sexual behaviour in adolescents.
3.
Family
socio-economic and cultural factors will significantly influence sexual
behaviour in adolescents.
4.
Peer
pressure will significantly influence
sexual behaviour in adolescents. The null hypotheses were rejected.
The
following recommendations were made that:
1.
The
school should ensure that it plays its role in neutralizing the negative effect
of peer pressure among students.
2.
Parents
should monitor the peers and company of their children/wards.
3.
Students

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
WHO (1980) defined reproductive health as a state of physical, mental, and social well-being in all matters relating to the reproductive system at all stages of life.
Reproductive health implies that people are able to have a satisfying and safe life and the capability to reproduce, with the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so. Implicit in this area are the right of men and women to be informed and to have access to safe, effective, affordable, and acceptable methods of family planning of their choice and the right to appropriate health-care services that enable women to safely go through pregnancy and childbirth (Bruess, 2000).
Reproductive health is not just the absence of the disease of the reproductive system, it covers a whole range of conditions and processes that include: healthy sexual development, reproductive and fertility regulation. Graham et al (2004) documented that among women of reproductive age (15 – 44 years) in developing countries, the burden of reproductive ill health problem is far greater than the burden from tuberculosis, respiratory infections, motor vehicle injuries, homicide and violence or from war. They observed that reproductive ill health accounts for 36% disease including women compare with 12% for men.
Reproductive health
is a crucial part of general health. Some have little or no control over their
sexual lives and childbearing, others engage in behaviour that puts both them
and their partners at risk while others do not have access to the right kind of
information and services required for good health.
Graham et al (2004), observed that knowledge of the extent of reproductive ill-health worldwide is far from complete, but estimates indicate that there are high rates of preventable conditions and avoidable suffering that often have devastating effects on individuals and families. They confirmed that from childhood and include problems such as the sexual abuse of children and harmful practices such as female genital mutilation. Other aspect of reproductive ill-health arise during adolescence with adopted behaviours that may have major consequences later on. These include: unprotected sexual relations in adolescence increase the risks of mortality and morbidity associated with pregnancy, childbirth, induced abortion and sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AID infection. They however ascertained that young people often do not have access to appropriate reproductive health services.
Statement of the Problem
There is an observed increase in the involvement of adolescents in risky sexual behaviours with increased teenage pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases (STD), post abortion complications and premature deaths. There are also cases of adolescent mothers with pregnancy complications such as Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF). This study examined the factors which influence reproductive health problems and the prevalence rate amongst adolescent health problems.
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study include to:
1.
Find
out if there will be difference between the sex lives of students who are
exposed to sex education and those who are not.
2.
Find out if there will be significant effect of sex
education on sexual deviation of students?
Significance of the
Study
The findings and recommendations of this study will be of
the following benefits:
1.
Raise youth awareness on the need for sexual
literacy. Educate adolescents and youth on negative effects of risky sexual
behaviour.
2.
Increase awareness on associated personal increase
parental awareness on the need for sexual literacy in the community.
3.
It will also increase awareness in teachers on the need
to implement sexuality education secondary school.
4.
Educate the Ministry of Education and teachers on their
expected roles to promote reproductive health care and family life education in

Hypotheses
5.
There
will be no significant difference between the sex lives of students who are
exposed to sex education and those who are not.
6.
There
will be no significant effect of sex education on sexual deviation of students.
Limitation
of the Study

study consists of the reluctance of the students to participate in the study.
The researcher encouraged them by assuring privacy and confidentiality. The
participants eventually cooperated and the study was completed.
