Adolescent
Reproductive Health (ARH) is a relatively new area of health intervention in
Bangladesh. Although adolescent population constitutes a significant part of
the total population of the country, they were yet to be considered a

their limited knowledge hinders their ability to make informed choices to
protect and promote their own well-being.
