This baseline study is part of the Healthy Young People project which aims at improving young people’s uptake of SRH services in Malawi. Results indicate it is still needed to address the knowledge gap and reasons why young people do not visit health care services. Relevant skill building has to be provided. Collaboration with important actors (parents, teachers, religious leaders and health care works) is of high importance to address the exiting social norms and support young people to access contraceptives and receive SRH care.
