This study was carried out in the rural areas in Cameroon's provinces of the extreme north, the east, the south and the center. This study addresses the knowledge, attitudes and practices of men and youth, both male and female, regarding their reproductive health. Emphasis is placed on contraceptive methods, pregnancy, vaccinations, sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs) and sterility.

This survey allows the project to create a reliable database to better understand the state of knowledge, attitudes and practices of the target population regarding these themes.
