Abstract

BACKGROUND: Adolescents, particularly those in Sub-Saharan Africa, experience major challenges in getting accurate and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information because of sociocultural norms, stigma, and limited SRH educational resources. Digital educational tools, leveraging the widespread use of mobile phones and internet connectivity, present a promising avenue to overcome these barriers and enhance SRH education among adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa. OBJECTIVE: We conducted a systematic review to describe (1) the geographic and demographic distributions (designated objectives 1a and 1b, respectively, given their interrelatedness) and (2) the types and relevant impacts of digital educational tools (objective 2). METHODS: We followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, using databases, such as Ovid-MEDLINE, Google Scholar, PubMed, and ERIC, to conduct literature searches. The selection criteria focused on studies that specifically addressed digital educational tools used to assess or deliver SRH education, their implementation, and their effectiveness among the adolescent population in Sub-Saharan Africa. We used the JBI critical appraisal tools for the quality assessment of papers included in the review. RESULTS: The review identified 22 studies across Sub-Saharan Africa that met the inclusion criteria. The 22 studies spanned populations in West, Central, East, and South Africa, with an emphasis on youth and adolescents aged 10-24 years, reflecting the critical importance of reaching these age groups with effective, accessible, and engaging health education (objectives 1a and 1b). There was a diverse range of digital tools used, including social media platforms, mobile apps, and gamified learning experiences, for a broad age range of adolescent youth. These methods were generally successful in engaging adolescents by providing them with accessible and relevant SRH information (objective 2). However, challenges, such as the digital divide, the cultural sensitivity of the material, and the necessity for a thorough examination of the long-term influence of these tools on behavior modification, were noted. CONCLUSIONS: Digital educational tools provide great potential to improve SRH education among adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa. These technologies can help enhance relevant health outcomes and accessibility by delivering information that is easy to understand, interesting, and tailored to their needs. Future research should focus on addressing the identified challenges, including bridging the digital divide, ensuring cultural and contextual relevance of content, and assessing the long-term impact of digital SRH education on adolescent behavior and health outcomes. Policymakers and educators are encouraged to integrate digital tools into SRH educational strategies that target adolescents in order to improve the SRH of this age group and contribute to improving public health in Sub-Saharan Africa.
