II. Background
Risk factors for teenage pregnancy are linked to many factors,
including a family history of teenage pregnancy. This research
examines whether a mother’s teenage childbearing or an older
sister’s teenage pregnancy more strongly predicts teenage
pregnancy.

III. Objectives and Methods

The main objective of the research was to explore how young
women responded to finding out they were pregnant, who they
talked to, who supported them, and how their behaviours were
influenced by local services, including access to sex education and
contraception advice.

A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted. Multi-

stage simple random sampling procedure was used to select 50
female teenagers. Interviewer-administered questionnaire was
used for data collection.
IV. Working Fromework
Framework for early adolescent health and development. The
factors shown are highly interrelated but do not completely
coincide. So for example, we know that a caring and committed
adult can buffer a young person who grows up in a violent and
abusive environment from its consequences. Conversely, those
who grow up with many of the protective advantages of education
and financial resources can be derailed by peer or neighborhood
influences. The model first identifies the major domains wherein
young adolescents develop, then it delineates aspects of those
domains that are protective and those that can leave adolescents
vulnerable. Although we propose these factors as risk or
protective, we are fully aware that what is protective in one cultural
context or environment (e.g., behavioral monitoring) may be
impeding of healthy development in another.

We propose four central goals for young people to reach at the

completion of early adolescence. Based on an extensive review of
the international literature coupled with soliciting the input of nearly
50 global experts in adolescent health and development, these are
the building blocks of healthy development and when in place
each is associated with later onset of sexual debut, improved
contraceptive utilization, diminished risk of sexual infections, and
improved social, educational, and behavioral outcomes:

 Engagement with learning,

 Emotional and physical safety,
 Positive sense of self/self-efficacy,
 Acquisition of life/decision-making skills.

There are many factors that facilitate the attainment of these goals
including: intrinsic factors (physical and mental health, the ability to
self-regulate) and extrinsic factors (gender equity, academic or
apprenticeship opportunities, access to human and institutional
 resources, security, high expectations for achievement from
teachers and care providers, and behavioral monitoring.

V. Assumptions
Teenage pregnancy is caused by a lot of things such as lack of
sexual education, poor medical help and therefore expensive
contraceptives or none given at government health care facilities.
