Adolescent-parent communication is a potential path for improving sexual and reproductive health outcomes for adolescents, most of parents did not teach their adolescents about sexual and reproductive health. Even though, some researches have been done on day time students, there is no study conducted focusing on young girls attending night school in Ethiopia.<h4>Objective</h4>This study aimed to assess young-parent communication on sexual and reproductive health issues and associated factors among night female students in Amhara Region, Ethiopia, 2018.<h4>Method</h4>School based quantitative cross-sectional study was employed in Amhara region among 1640 young female night students from September 15 to November 15/2018. Face-to-face interview-administered questionnaires were used to collect the data. Bi-variable and multi-variable logistic regression model were used. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were computed to determine the strength of association between predictor and outcome variables. P-values less than 0.05 considered as level of significance.<h4>Results</h4>One hundred ten (37.5%) of the students had communication with their parents on at least two issues of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) issues in the last 6 months. Grade level (adjusted odd ratio (AOR) = 2.61, 95% CI (2.04, 3.34)), marital status (AOR = 1.29, 95% CI (1.03, 1.63), living arrangement (AOR = 1.50(1.13, 2.00)), utilization of youth friendly sexual and reproductive health services (AOR = 1.80, 95% CI (1.41, 2.30)), students ever had sexual intercourse (AOR = 1.50, 95% CI (1.23, 1.96)), Information about sexual and reproductive health services (AOR = 1.45(1.16, 1.80)) were associated young-parents communication on sexual and reproductive health issues.<h4>Conclusion</h4>In this study young-parent communications on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) issues was found to be limited. Therefore, teachers, health extension workers, and health professionals should strengthen comprehensive SRH education for students in school, churches, mosques, health facilities and encouraging them to participate in different health clubs in school. Parent should give education for their children sexual and reproductive health during the era of young age.Gedefaye Nibret MihretieTewachew Muche LiyehYitayal Ayalew GoshuHabtamu Gebrehana BelayHabitamu Abe TasewAbeba Belay AyalewPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 16, Iss 6, p e0253271 (2021)
