Résumé
Background
University students in the Democratic Republic of the Congo face barriers to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. This study examined SRH knowledge, service use and associated factors in Bukavu, South Kivu.
Methods
A cross-sectional structured questionnaire survey was conducted in January-February 2025 among 430 students. Previous SRH service use was defined by the direct question asking whether the respondent had ever consulted an SRH service. Categorical comparisons used chi-square or exact tests. Multivariable logistic regression estimated adjusted odds ratios (AORs).
