Background. The Yemeni government is focusing more attention on the needs of youth to ensure a healthy transition to adulthood.
This is critical because adolescent population (ages 15–24) of 3.35 million will double in just 20 years. Young adults often lack
basic knowledge about reproductive health and family planning. Objectives. To determine reproductive health and family planning
knowledge and attitude among young adults aged 15 to 25+ years. Method. Sample study was taken from Marie Stopes International
in Yemen which was conducted from March to July 2013 on the reproductive health age 15–49 years. Descriptive, bivariate, and
multivariate analyses were employed. Results. Majority had heard about reproductive health and family planning and encouraged
its methods. Television, relatives, and radio were major sources of information. Adults with higher education tend to have more
awareness about health services. Knowledge about health services and family planning methods among older adults was significant,
and adults in Belqees Club were more likely to have high empowerment scores for family planning methods. Conclusion.The level of
knowledge about health services for reproductive health and family planning and its methods was low to moderate.The introduction
of contraceptives remains a challenge in Yemen because the educational reproductive health is weak in Yemeni schools or health
institutes or universities. Information about reproductive health and family planning should be provided to adolescents through
medical schools curricula.
