Methods: Grounded in the 'ecological framework of adolescent health,' this study employed a descriptive qualitative approach to explore the perspectives of key stakeholders, including 12 parents, eight teachers, and four community leaders. Drawing on in-depth, semi-structured individual and focus group interviews, the study examined risk and protective factors related to risky sexual behavior across family, school, community, social, cultural, and policy contexts. Data collection was conducted from December 5, 2022 to January 31, 2023. Results: The integrated thematic analysis revealed six main themes. Parents positioned themselves as anxious protectors but struggled with limited opportunities for open conversation; teachers acted as observe-and-warn mediators, constrained by institutional authority, curricular boundaries, and rapidly shifting youth culture; and community leaders interpreted emerging trends through the lens of social change, eroding traditions, and weakening collective governance. Across groups, participants acknowledged the limitations of unilateral action and advocated for multilevel, collaborative solutions that bridge families, schools, and broader communities. Conclusion: The study concluded that adolescent sexual behaviors should be understood from diverse perspectives. This finding highlights the need for culturally appropriate and sensitive measures supported by multisectoral systems operating at the family, school, community, civil society (e.g., non-governmental organizations), and national levels. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
