While there is an abundance of information on adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) in general, few studies have focused on the needs of specific groups of adolescents, such as adolescents living in a particular area. Accordingly, there is little known about the extent or variations in these needs of adolescents in Ghana, including those who live in slums. Moreover, youth-driven health programs are still being implemented in these areas, often with little understanding of the circumstances and needs of the young people they target (Annabel et al. 2007).
