Abstract

Adolescent reproductive health is an important issue in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze risk factors for adolescent reproductive health in Purwakarta Regency, Indonesia. This research used a cross-sectional survey method involving 400 teenagers aged 15-24 years. Data was collected through questionnaires. Data analysis used the Chi-square test. The research results show that risk factors for adolescent reproductive health in Purwakarta Regency include: Low adolescent knowledge about reproductive health (OR: 2.17; 95% CI: 1.45-3.24); Risky sexual behavior, such as having had premarital sexual relations (OR: 2.88; 95% CI: 1.99-4.19); Unsafe use of contraceptives, such as not using contraceptives at all (OR: 2.87; 95% CI: 1.99-4.19); Lack of adolescent access to reproductive health services (OR: 2.67; 95% CI: 1.87-3.83).
