The data were gathered through focus group discussions with older adolescents 15-19 years and the ability to communicate in one common. The FGD participants were recruited with the help of a focal person in the community. The focal person was briefed about the study and he assisted with the participant recruitment. Eight FGDs (four groups of young men and four groups of young women) were held with adolescents aged 15–19 years across four communities in the Ga South and Ga West Districts in Greater Accra Region.
