“…Further, YPWD can have unsafe sex (19), or engage in sexual behavior, but may miss the necessary skills, negotiation power and information to engage in safer sexual activity (8,20). As a result, YPWD are often marginalized, discriminated, and relegated to the background or neglected when it comes to accessing SRH services (21)(22)(23)(24). Moreover, health workers often miss some information regarding the sexual behavior of YPWD and are unable to advise them on some prevention strategies against STIs (25).…”

IntroductionYoung people living with disability form one of the most vulnerable population groups globally. There is limited information on the use of SRH services among young people living with a disability.MethodsThis analysis is based on household survey data among young people. Drawing on a sample of 861 young people living with a disability (15 -24 years), we investigate the sexual behaviour, and identify the risk factors associated with sexual behavior of young people living with a disability. Multilevel logistic regression was used.ResultsResults indicate that risky sexual behaviour was associated with alcohol consumption (aOR = 1.68; 95%CI: 0.97, 3.01), having limited knowledge of HIV and STI prevention methods (aOR = 6.03; 95%CI: 0.99, 30.00), and low life skills (aOR = 4.23; 95%CI: 1.59, 12.87). The odds of not using a condom at last sex were significantly higher among in-school young people than out of school young people (aOR = 0.34; 95%CI: 0.12, 0.99).DiscussionTargeted interventions aimed at reaching out to young people living with a disability should consider their sexual and reproductive health needs, barriers, and facilitators. Interventions can also promote self-efficacy and agency of young people living with a disability in making informed sexual and reproductive health choices.

“…The belief and the consequent attitudes lead to a series of adverse outcomes for people with disabilities, such as people’s reluctance to build intimate relationships with people with disabilities, and exclusion of persons with disabilities from SRH programs. As the most marginalized subgroups of persons with disabilities, adolescents and unmarried young adults are the most likely excluded groups [ 4 , 10 , 11 ]. Studies show that young people with disabilities have the same or higher rate of sexual intercourse compared with their peers without disabilities [ 5 , 12 – 14 ].…”

Background Youth with disabilities have the same right to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) as their peers without disabilities. However, their needs and rights are often ignored. Little is known about the knowledge, needs and access barriers related to SRH information among youth with different types of disabilities in China. Methods A cross-sectional survey was carried out among 473 unmarried youth aged 15–24 with visual, hearing, physical disabilities in both urban and rural areas in China. Results Out of a maximum possible score of 100, respondent’s median score ranged from 30 to 50 for knowledge related to sexual physiology, STIs/HIV/AIDS and contraception. For these three categories of knowledge, respondents with hearing and physical disabilities or from rural areas scored lower than their counterparts with visual disabilities or from urban areas. The multivariate analyses showed that the residential area and education level were strong correlates of knowledge among respondents with visual and hearing disabilities. Other significant correlates were age for respondents with visual impairment and physical impairment, and single child status in the family and father’s education level for respondents with hearing impairment. Sources of and barriers and preferences in accessing SRH information differed by type of disabilities, residential areas and gender. In general, school teachers were the primary and most preferred sources of SRH knowledge, followed by the Internet, peers/friends and parents. Unaware of where to get accurate information and feeling embarrassed to seek information were the two most frequently mentioned barriers in accessing SRH information. Conclusion Respondents had poor knowledge of SRH and limited access to SRH information, especially those from rural areas. Efforts should be made to promote school and family-based sexuality education tailored for youth with different types of disabilities.
