INTRODUCTION: Adolescents are more likely to experience disrespect and abuse (D&A) by skilled health personnel during facility-based childbirth. However, research evidence on the experiences, prevalence and drivers of D&A of adolescents in childbirth is limited. We aim to establish research evidence on the experiences, prevalence and drivers of D&A of adolescents during facility-based childbirth in sub-Saharan Africa and identify gaps in the literature to inform future research.

METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The protocol is designed using Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework and will be reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. We will systematically search to retrieve peer-reviewed articles published in English from 2011 to date in PubMed/Medline, EBSCOhost (Africa Wide Information, CINAHL, PsycINFO and SocINDEX), Web of Science (SciELO Citation Index and Web of Science Core Collection) and Scopus. Two independent reviewers will screen the references by titles, abstracts and full texts. Discrepancies in screening results will be resolved through discussions. Key elements of included studies will be charted using a predetermined tool. We will perform numerical analysis and synthesis of narrative accounts of the extent, nature and distribution of review studies.

ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: No ethical approval is required since the scoping review will use openly available public data and information. Review findings will be disseminated at conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals. No protocol registration is required.
