The major objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of sexual reproductive health
and rights services among adolescents. The study used wards 5 urban and 24 rural of Shurugwi
district as case study and a sample size of 60 respondents was used. Adolescents in secondary
schools and out of schools together with service providers, respondents provided rich pooled
data that informed the study findings. The researcher employed the qualitative research
approach in the study. The study findings revealed that though adolescents are knowledgeable of
existing SRH services they are not eager to access these services due to different challenges like
lack of confidentiality and privacy among service providers, shyness, distance traveled to health
centers among others. The study has surfaced several recommendations in order to establish an
effective SRHR service up take among adolescents if teenage pregnancy and high rates of school
drop outs are to be reduced.
