In 2016 Care International in Myanmar commissioned this qualitative study to investigate the sexual, reproductive and maternal health (SRMH) related behaviours of adolescents and young parents in villages in Northern Shan State, Myanmar.
The purpose of this research was to analyse the SRMH behaviours of young parents and adolescents; to understand the causes and impacts of harmful and risky behaviours, and identify opportunities for positive intervention. Data and analysis from the research was used to inform CARE Myanmar’s strategies and programs to address the underlying causes of dangerous SRMH behaviours in Northern Shan State.
