It also discusses the perspectives of health care providers, including ASHAs, ANMs, Counsellors and Medical Officers about their role in responding to the sexual and reproductive health needs of adolescents and youth, and the factors that facilitate or constrain them from providing information and services and effectively reaching out to adolescents and youth.
