The issue of family intervention in adolescent's sexual health has become a global health concern because of increased sexual risk-taking behaviour among adolescents. A research question was raised to elicit information from respondents on parents' perception on communication on adolescents' sexual health. Also, one hypothesis was generated to examine the relationship between parents' perception and communication on adolescents' sexual health. The descriptive research of the survey type was adopted. Seven hundred and twenty-one (721) parents were purposively and proportionally selected using multi-stage random sampling techniques. A selfconstructed questionnaire was used. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential analysis. The result shows that a majority of the respondents had proper perception on discussions on sexual health with adolescents. Also, parents' perception significantly influenced communication on adolescents' sexual health. The study recommends that parents and stakeholders should note the findings on the variables of interest and plan adequate counselling programmes.
