dc.description.abstractNationally, urinary tract infection is more common among childbearing age groups of both males and females and it poses a dangerous health risk if left untreated. The study aimed at assessing the occurrence of urinary tract infections among the youths attending Kampala International University Teaching Hospital. A descriptive cross-sectional study design quantitative in nature was used. A convenient sampling method was used to recruit 156 respondents for the study. A questionnaire was used for data collection and was analyzed using SPSS 16.0 software. 94% of the respondents stated that they were sexually active where 80% stated having one partner and 14% having two partners. 52% stated that they had been hospitalized with indwelling urethral catheters. 6% stated they were not sexually active. The researcher concluded that most of the youths had exposure to UTI in many different ways at some point in their life. We recommend health workers properly treat UTIs and give preventive measures to those at risk of getting infected.en_US
