Sexual and reproductive health interventions for mobile adolescents and young people in sub-Saharan Africa: a scoping review.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMobility among adolescents and young people (AYP) is a key factor influencing their access to sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) services. Young migrants are more likely to experience gender-based violence and their access to SRHR services and education is often limited in their new communities. We conducted a scoping review which aimed to map what is known about the extent and type of interventions focused on SRHR for mobile adolescents and young people (mAYP) in sub-Saharan Africa.
methodsWe followed Arksey and O'Mally's (2005) steps for conducting scoping reviews: 1. Identifying the research question; 2. Identifying relevant studies; 3. Study selection; 4. Charting the data and 5. Collating, summarising and reporting the results. We searched four databases identifying 1,069 articles. After screening, 25 articles were included.
resultsMany studies were conducted in Uganda (n = 12), reported on conflict-related mobility (n = 15), and focused on HIV (n = 11). Two main intervention types were identified: Links to service provision and Knowledge, information, and skills development. Implementation facilitators included recruiting community health promoters, mentors and peer supporters. Implementation barriers included limited literacy, social norms, access to facilities and stigma associated with accessing services.
conclusionsResearch exploring SRHR interventions for mAYP is limited in sub-Saharan Africa. Future research and interventions should be underpinned by an understanding of young people's health and wellbeing more broadly, and foreground the social, cultural, religious and economic factors shaping mAYP's SRH needs.
