This study is a cross-sectional survey of adolescents in Basra, Iraq, from November 2020 to March 2021 about types of adolescent problems, the individuals and institutions adolescents turn to, and the role of public health centers in dealing with their problems.

The work indicates that there is an urgent need to pay attention to public health centers and provide health and psychological support to adolescents.
