The Peak of Dawn pointed to the height of sexual drive among adolescents and young adults that may cause a beginning (dawn) of life as both sexes can produce a product of conception, especially when a female is fertile. The results from the recent Community Organizing Participatory Action Research done last November 2022 by the BSN third-year students revealed that some of the participants refused to answer questions regarding family planning. The study employed a Parallel Mixed Method approach to assessing the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice–a KAP-modified questionnaire was administered to the 138 stratified participants with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient= 0.884. As well as to explore the perceived benefits, barriers, interpersonal influences, and self-efficacy among eight purposely selected participants through semi-structured interviews in every San Jose’s Purok towards Family Planning. Descriptive and tests of difference were used to analyze the surveyed data. Thematic Analysis by Braun and Clarke (2006), supported by MAXQDA software, was used to analyze the qualitative data. Integration of both findings provided a comprehensive understanding of the research topic. The study revealed significant findings among adolescents and young adults, including a low knowledge, a high attitude, and very low practice concerning family planning. Notable differences were observed between participants' KAP scores and their demographic profiles. Participants expressed a lack of awareness about various family planning methods and government services, with peers strongly influencing their perspectives. The researchers recommended implementing youth-friendly and non-judgmental family planning services to address these findings to enhance knowledge and awareness. A health promotion pamphlet was developed and will be made available at the Barangay Health Center as an information drive initiative.
