dc.description.abstractThis study was carried out in Kinondoni municipality, Dar es Salaam city in Tanzania. It was prompted by the increased number of adolescents’ infection with HIV/AIDS, STIs and STDs despite the knowledge provided at schools, social media and seminars. The study focused on examining children’s sources of information on SRH, choices of individuals when discussing SRH issues and factors that hinder parents-children communication on SRH issues. Social Cognitive Theory and Family Communication Pattens Theory were used to guide the study. Cross sectional research design was employed. The study found out that most of children prefer discussing SRH issues with peers rather than parents and that they mostly prefer female than male parents. The study recommends that professionals and government officials such as community development workers, health workers, psychologists and Civil Society Organizations should educate the community specifically parents on the importance of Parent-Children communication on SRH issues.
