title: Reaching youth through franchise clinics: assessment of Kenyan private sector involvement in youth services.
abstract: This paper evaluates the ability of social franchise programs, which use private providers to offer reproductive health services, to provide services to youth in western Kenya. Although franchise clinics have rarely targeted youth, they appear to offer a viable alternative for providing reproductive health services to this age group.
