Introduction: World Health Organization (WHO) defines adolescence as the period of life between 10 and 19 years of age. Adolescents compose 24% of the total population in Bangladesh, and about 54% of them are females. Various government and nongovernment agencies have conducted some limited studies on the awareness of reproductive health among adolescents in isolation. Therefore, this study was a modest attempt to explore the issues like; knowledge about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs and AIDS), opinion about reproductive health problem, opinion as their choice for any health care center for reproductive health problems, opinion about information need to be added in school books on reproductive health.
