Sexual and reproductive health problems of adolescents in Ethiopia are rising from time to time. Thisrnmay be associated with different reasons. Different researches done in different countries had shown thatrngood fami ly communication regarding sexual risk behavior has been positively associated with openrndiscussion between parents and adolescents. There are different factors affecting communicationsrnbetween parents and adolescents regarding SRH issues which are uncovered. In particular parents failedrnto communicate with their adolescent children on sensitive issues of sexuality. Thus Communicationrnbetween them about reproductive health issues was found difficu lt and minimal.rnThe study was done in an attempt to identify those factors and the influence of parent-adolescentrncommunication on SRH issues. More over the study was done to investigate the association betweenrnsocia-cultural and economic determinants and the communications between parents and adolescents onrnSRH.rnIn the study both qualitative and quantitative methodologies were employed .A cross-sectionalrndescriptive study involved in 382 purposively selected Students. A pre- tested structured anonymousrnquestionnaire was used to collect quantitative data, which was entered, cleaned and analyzed us ing SPSSrnversion 19.0 statistical package. The study also employed bivariate correlation to evaluate the degree ofrnrelationship between the two variables. Qualitative information was obtained from six homogenousrnfocus group discussions of student participants (each three groups from male and female participants),rndepth interviews of sixteen parents and five key informants ' interviewees. A total of sixteen interviewsrnwere done with parents of both sexes and the data analysis was done thematically to answer the basicrnresearch questions.rnThe majority of the respondents (74.3%) reported that they never discussed on SRH issues with theirrnparents. But ninety of the respondents (25.7%) said that they discussed with their parents .Thernrespondents who preferred their mother to discuss on SRH issues were (56.2%).Two hundredrnsixteen of the respondents (63.3 %) reported that they did not discuss with neither of their parents in therntopics of SRH. Ninety seven of the respondents (28.4%) reported that they discussed with their parentsrnrarely. Traditional norms, Cultures, sensitiveness of the issue and lack of communications skill, thesernwere alleged to prohibit parents from discussing some issues of reproductive health, especially issues ofrnsexuality with their children.rnThe overall research finding shows that there is low communication between parent and adolescentrnon different SRH issues with different reasons for not discussing. Hence, based on the findings obtainedrnin this study it is recommended that comprehensive family life education should be initiated for thernstudents and parents in school, home, religious institution, and health facilit ies (ONE to FIVE UrbanrnHealth Extension Workers Approach) for effective communication to occur on SRH. In additionrnprograms working in Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) should include parents tornaddress parental influences on adolescents' reproductive health and work to alleviate those factors whichrnaffect communication between parent and adolescents. There is also needed to develop appropriaterninterventions for empowering parents to communicate with their adolescent (children) about the fullrnrange of sexual and reproductive health issues.
