摘要：Within the framework of the home environment which adolescents live, this paper analyses the components of adolescent reproductive health problems, the incidence, prevalent rates, as well as their intra urban variations. The socio-economic and the home environmental correlates of the most common infections are also examined. The study which was based on analysis of hospital records of diagnosed cases reveals that, three most common STIs among adolescents in the study area are Gonorrhea, Candidiasis, and Non-Specific Urethritis. The incidence is highest among adolescents in the high density but low class residential areas than their counterparts in the medium and low density areas. Prevalent rates were found to be highest among adolescents in the 17 to 24 ages and that male adolescents were more affected in all cases than their female counterparts. The trend in incidence between 1974 and year 2000 is a fluctuation which tends more towards increase than decline.
