Results. A comprehensive understanding of the importance of reproductive health was established in 42% of the respondents, 8% had difficulty in clearly defining the term (75% of 15-year-olds and 36% of 16-year-olds). The respondents preferred the discussion of questions about reproductive health with medical workers (8 points out of 10), however, half of the respondents (47%) believe that it is worth seeking advice only when necessary. Among the negative factors, girls noted lack of personal hygiene (43.25%), sexually transmitted infections (25%) and early onset of sexual activity (16%). The girls rated the work of the youth health centers at 2.25 points (out of 10), the reasons for the low rating were misunderstanding of the purpose of the visit (86%), lack of privacy / large congregation of peers (82%), lack of trust (38%), insufficient information about the preparation to the proposed procedures (31%).
Conclusion. The study showed a relatively high (7.8 points out of 10) level of awareness among adolescent girls, however, the bulk of the sources are non-professional (parents, friends), which requires further development of youth health centers.
