Therefore, this study aimed to assess knowledge towards sexual and reproductive health rights and associated factors among youths in Debark town. Methods: A cross-sectional study was employed among 537 youths in Debark town from March 8-20/2020. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select study participants. Data were collected through interviewer-administered questionnaires.

Adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and P-value less than 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: more than half (54%) of youths were knowledgeable about sexual and reproductive health rights.
