Iwelunmor, Juliet Folayan, Morenike Oluwatoyin Nwaozuru, Ucheoma Ezechi, Oliver facilitators and barriers implementation science sexual and reproductive health sub-Saharan Africa young people 3p Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) among young people, aged 10–24 years, in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) remains a major public health challenge, with evident gaps in access to SRH services and increased risk of poor SRH (1). For example, less than 20% of young people in SSA are aware of their HIV status, despite the region accounting for almost 90% of the world’s HIV cases among adolescents and youth (2). Point-of-care tests exist and have the potential to revolutionize the prevention and care of HIV and other STIs, thus interrupting transmission and preventing the sequelae of untreated infections (3, 4). However, the awareness and uptake of such SRH preventive services remain sub-optimal among young people (5). While this research-to-practice gap is widely known, there is limited discussion on how it can be bridged. The collection in this Frontier Research Topic begins to partly remedy the problem by recounting collective efforts to promote young people’s SRH in SSA. Here we share our learnings with the hope of advancing the discussion on how to bridge the research-to-practice gap. We summarize the articles in this special issue in three main (and overlapping themes) 2024-09-09T11:57:50Z 2024-09-09T11:57:50Z 2021-12-22 Article Iwelunmor, J., Folayan, M.
