The research aims to develop baseline data on access to and quality of care (QoC) of reproductive health (RH) services for adolescent refugees in urban settings in Uganda (Kampala) and Jordan (Amman and Irbid). Adolescents’ reproductive health (RH) is a priority for the international community, however there is a paucity of evidence outside of camp-based RH services. Adolescents in urban settings have limited access to services and face specific RH risks. Adolescents face specific vulnerabilities during displacement, and they suffer damage to support networks as well as intersectional discrimination and interrupted education. Improving access to and quality of care (QoC) of RH services is vital in order that they can play a fuller role in the economic development of the host countries.

Drawing on qualitative methods, the research explores adolescent refugees’ specific needs, vulnerabilities, cultural barriers, psycho-social needs and sources of resilience and how these impact on access to, and satisfaction with, existing reproductive health services in urban settings in Jordan and Uganda.
