<p> </p><div><div><p></p></div></div> <p>                  <b>ABSTRACT</b></p><p>This study was carried out to investigate utilization of contraception and sexual behaviour of adolescents in Senior Secondary School, Rumuolumeni, Port-Harcourt, Rivers State. Total sampling was adopted. An adopted structured anonymous closed and open-ended questionnaire was used for data collection.

Ten point seven percent (10.7%) of respondents used contraceptives at first sexual debut. Out of which 54.5% used condoms during their first sexual debut and forty-five point five percent (45.5%) used pills. Fourteen percent of respondents had ever had sexual intercourse, forty-five point five percent (45.5%) of respondents had sexual debut at age 20 and above with a mean age of 18.3±28years at first sexual debut. Two point five percent (2.5%) have ever been pregnant all of which resulted in abortion. Forty-eight point five percent (48.5%) of respondent’s source of contraceptives from government hospitals/health centres, twenty four point seven percent (24.7%) from pharmacy, fifteen percent (15%) from private clinics, and eleven point eight percent (11.8%) from private hospital. More (47.5%)respondents got information about contraceptives from school teachers via teaching, 24% from health professionals, 19.6% from friends, 18.8% from books/magazines, mother 8.8%, 4.9% from father and siblings five point four percent (5.4%).
