From Taboo to Touchscreen: A Qualitative Exploration of a Digital Sexual and Reproductive Health Intervention for Bangladeshi Adolescents

Adolescents in Bangladesh, approximately one-fifth of the total population, face significant challenges accessing relevant sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information, with the added burdens of cultural taboo, limited accessibility, and poor communication channels. Traditional adolescent-friendly approaches have shown limited effectiveness in addressing these challenges. In response, Mukhorito was developed as a peer-led, mobile-based digital platform to facilitate SRH, education, and communication among ninth-grade students. This study explored the feasibility and constraints of piloting the Mukhorito app to enhance adolescent SRH education in Bangladesh. It also sought to determine the self-reported usage, usability, and effect on knowledge and peer communication of the app, as well as to identify implementation and adoption challenges.
