BACKGROUND: Parents play an important role in the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of their adolescents. Parent-adolescent SRH information communication is cardinal and is expected to improve SRH outcomes of adolescents AIM: The aim of this systematic review was to search for effective SRH information communication interventions in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to inform the adaptation of parent-adolescent SRH information communication intervention METHOD: This is the first phase of an explanatory sequential mixed method study. The systematic review was carried out by employing Joanna Briggs Institute software for reviews. Search sources included Cochrane Reviews Library, EMBASE, CINAHL, PubMed, OVID, Scopus, Web of Science and Science Direct. A systematic search strategy was formulated, making use of the key terms: adolescent, teenager, youth, parent, mother, father, caregiver, reproductive, sexual, health, information, communication and intervention RESULTS: Five articles met the inclusion criteria for full-text screening. The interventions included addressed sociodemographic covariates; parent-adolescent general communication; parental monitoring; parent-adolescent communication about sex-related topics; parent's sexual communication skills; parent's self-efficacy in sexual communication; parent's responsiveness to sexual communication; communication frequency; quality of sex‑related communication and information-motivational-behavioural skills CONCLUSION: Findings suggest that evidence-based SRH information communication interventions are effective in improving parent-adolescent SRH information communication to optimise safe SRH behaviour in LMICs CONTRIBUTION: This systematic review identified effective SRH information communication interventions in LMICs, which can form the basis of further qualitative exploration for adaptation of a culturally sensitive intervention in Ghana
