About 37% of the young women in Sierra Leone do not receive good quality family planning counselling services of which 17.1% received none. Based on the study's findings, it is important to emphasize the need to ensure that all young women have access to proper counselling services especially for those receiving these services from private health units, from the southern region and richest wealth quintile. Ensuring easier access through increasing affordable and friendly access points and strengthening field health workers' capacity in providing family planning services could also help improve access to good quality family planning services.
