(Background): Adolescent-to-parent communication on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) plays a crucial role in shaping healthy attitudes and behaviors among young people; yet it remains limited in many conservative contexts. This study examined the factors associated with adolescent-to-parent SRH communication among secondary school students in Redemption Camp, Ogun State, Nigeria. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 259 students selected through a multistage sampling technique. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 27) to generate frequencies, means, and inferential statistics, with significance set at p<0.05. Result: Findings revealed that personal factors, particularly knowledge (mean = 8.76/10) and self-efficacy (mean = 2.76), significantly influenced SRH communication while environmental factors were not significant predictors. Logistic regression identified self-efficacy as the strongest predictor (β = 0.211, p = 0.011). Conclusion: Although knowledge and SRH education are important, adolescents’ confidence and emotional readiness are more crucial in facilitating parent-adolescent communication. Programs that strengthen adolescents’ communication skills and equip parents with supportive strategies, particularly through faith-based and community initiatives, are essential for improving SRH dialogue.
