Introduction: Risk-taking provides young people with a chance to test their skills and abilities and the opportunity for self-discovery. Some risks, such as early or unprotected sex, pregnancy, and abortion, can have harmful and long-lasting effects on a teen's health and well-being. Despite this, adolescent sexual health remains neglected, marginalized, and ignored in many countries. The purpose of this study was to assess the magnitude & factors associated with early sexual debut of high and preparatory school students in Shire-Endasellassie town, Tigray region, from March to June 2013.
