While earlier studies have examined contraceptive use, the influence of mental health conditions and symptoms on a broader range of contraceptive options among AGYW has not been thoroughly investigated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title><jats:p>This scoping review aims to map and synthesize peer-reviewed literature to understand how mental health conditions and symptoms influence contraceptive use among AGYW globally.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This review followed Arksey and O'Malley's framework. Databases searched included PubMed, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Web of Science, and African Journals Online. We included studies on AGYW aged 10\u201325 years that addressed how mental health conditions and symptoms influence contraceptive use.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 9,817 records identified, only 17 studies met inclusion criteria. Depression (65%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200911) was the most frequently studied mental health factor, followed by stress (29%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20095), proxies for mental distress (24%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20094, including antidepressants and psychotropic drug use), and anxiety (18%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20093). Hormonal contraceptives (HCs) (100%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200917) were the most studied methods. Among the included studies, 71% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200912) found that mental health conditions and symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, psychological distress, stress, antidepressants, and psychotropic drug use, were associated with lower odds of HC use. Conversely, 29% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20095) found these factors to be associated with higher odds of HC use, particularly oral and non-oral methods. Stress and depression were associated with lower odds of consistent contraceptive use, while anxiety demonstrated mixed effects. Two studies reported no association between mental health factors and contraceptive use. Eleven studies focused on adolescents and six on young adults, showing a bidirectional influence between mental health and contraceptive use, with inconsistent findings across age groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Mental health factors affect contraceptive use in different ways. Depression and stress reduce the odds of consistent HC use, especially among non\u2013oral contraceptive users, while anxiety shows mixed outcomes. Findings underscore the complex influence of mental health factors on contraceptive behavior among AGYW and highlight the need for age\u2013specific policies and interventions tailored to this high\u2013priority population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/frph.2025.1620736","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,2]],"date-time":"2025-09-02T05:33:40Z","timestamp":1756791220000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Influence
