Abstract

Background: Reproductive health is one of the important factors that determine the healthy physical and mental development of adolescents. Objectives: To determine the proportion of students with correct knowledge, attitudes, and practices about reproductive health and learn some factors related to incorrect knowledge, attitudes, and practices about reproductive health among high school students in Soc Trang City, Soc Trang Province, in 2023. Materials and methods: Using the analytical cross-sectional descriptive research method, we applied the cluster sampling method through three stages with a sample size of 666 high school students. Results: The percentage of students with correct general knowledge, general attitudes, and general practices about reproductive health is 75.4%, 80.5%, and 68.6%, respectively. Some factors related to students' knowledge and attitudes are gender, living environment while studying, and participation in classes or propaganda sessions on reproductive health. There is a relationship between general knowledge, and general attitudes and general practices regarding reproductive health. Conclusions: The rate of knowledge, attitudes, and correct practices about reproductive health among students is still limited.
