Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 5
Abstract
Parents play an important role in the activities of their children because they are frequently in contact with these adolescents and they help to shape their behaviour and the social context in which they grow up. They are therefore expected to watch-over their children’s sexual activities as well as identify, sieve and package information and services for them. A study to determine the role of parents in adolescents’ sexual behaviour in co-educational secondary schools in Cross River State was done. The specific objectives were to determine parents’/adolescents’ relationship, the degree to which parents monitor and supervise their adolescents, assess the level at which parents communicate with their adolescents and how much material support parents give to their adolescents. Parents of adolescents in secondary school were used. Two schools were randomly selected and twenty (20) parents from each school were invited. Focus group discussion was administered to each group separately at different location and different times. Data was analysed using group for data analysis method and the result was presented according to group and gender. The results showed that there was a huge gap in communication between the parents and their adolescent children especially when it involved sexuality.
