Living further from health care facilities can negatively impact health in South Africa by serving as a barrier to access. Research in South Africa found that teenage childbearing was influenced by the distance to care facilities, and teenage childbearing can have lasting health and economic consequences. A program called NAFCI that provided youth-friendly sexual health services and information at clinics was associated with delayed childbearing, increased contraceptive use, and reduced sexually transmitted infections among adolescents living near the clinics. Improving access to reproductive healthcare and information can help address disparities in teenage pregnancy and its adverse outcomes.
This document outlines a consortium project between World Action Fund and Peace Corps Organisation Uganda to implement the Strengthening Rural Education for Teenagers (SRET) project in Arua District, Uganda over 20 months with a budget of UGX 120,000,000. The project aims to increase access, retention, and completion rates among teenagers in Arua District through awareness campaigns on sexual health and HIV/AIDS, teacher trainings, and media campaigns to address high rates of teenage pregnancy, school dropout, and HIV transmission. Key activities include peer education clubs, radio programs, health talks in schools, and trainings for teachers and teenagers.
This paper reviews recent research on adolescent pregnancy and parenthood. While teenage birth rates have declined since mid-century, nonmarital and welfare-dependent births have increased, raising public concern. New research finds that many negative outcomes previously attributed to early motherhood are actually preexisting causes or correlates. The paper discusses trends in teenage pregnancies and births, risk factors like poverty and family structure, and interventions to delay childbearing or aid teenage mothers. It calls for more research on the psychological precursors and consequences of adolescent pregnancy and parenthood.
This article discusses teenage pregnancy and sexual health in England. It notes that while the under-18 conception rate is at its lowest level since 1969, rates of sexually transmitted infections remain high among young people. It emphasizes the important role that nurses play in sexual health services, education, and outreach to support young people and reduce risks. A multi-agency approach is needed involving high-quality sex education, easy access to contraception and screening, and efforts to reduce stigma so young people receive accurate information and support.
Social and economic factors influence contraceptive use in Tanzania. Only 27% of married women in Tanzania used modern contraceptive methods in 2010, and the rate was even lower in Mwanza region at 12%. Both men and women have concerns and misconceptions about side effects of contraceptives. Research shows contraceptive use is associated with greater knowledge about contraceptives and higher education levels. A woman's social network and partner approval also impact her contraceptive use. Economic shocks can disrupt access to contraceptives or encourage greater use to avoid child expenses. National investments in family planning programs aim to expand access and increase contraceptive rates.
Determinants of adolescent fertility in GhanaSamuel Nyarko
1. The study examined determinants of adolescent fertility in Ghana using data from the 2008 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey.
2. Binary logistic regression revealed that adolescent fertility was significantly influenced by the level of education of the female adolescent and her partner, the work status of the female adolescent, and the wealth status.
3. Adolescents with higher education levels and partners with higher education levels were less likely to have given birth, while adolescents not working and from poorer households were more likely to have given birth.

This document summarizes research on factors associated with adolescent motherhood in Kenya. The study analyzed data from Kenya's 2008/09 Demographic and Health Survey of 1,767 women aged 15-19, of whom 301 were already mothers. Bivariate analysis found adolescent motherhood was highest among girls with primary education, from rural areas, low wealth households, and who never used contraception. Logistic regression identified girl's education, residence, wealth, region, contraceptive use, and partner's education as significantly related to adolescent motherhood. The document discusses social, economic, cultural and health factors that contribute to early pregnancy in Kenya such as poverty, lack of education and employment opportunities, acceptance of child marriage, and limited access to sexual/

This research paper evaluated the family planning program in 15-49 year old women living in Barangay Lucban, San Carlos City, Philippines. Interviews with 20 women found that most had knowledge of family planning but some were still unaware or did not use family planning methods. While family planning access was available, more efforts are needed to educate women in rural areas. Recommendations included strengthening family planning policies, increasing adolescent education, and involving religious leaders to improve family planning implementation.
1) Rapid population growth, especially among the poorest, poses difficulties for development and poverty reduction in the Philippines. Official data shows higher poverty incidence and lower human capital investment in larger families.
2) The poor prefer smaller families but are unable to achieve their preferences due to lack of access to family planning. Over half of pregnancies among the poor are unintended and unwanted births represent unmet need.
3) Ensuring access to modern family planning methods and information can help address both private and social costs of unintended pregnancies while respecting individual choice. Reproductive health and family planning programs offer benefits to individuals, the economy, and the environment.
- Child marriage remains highly prevalent in developing countries despite efforts to discourage or outlaw the practice, negatively impacting girls' education, health, and empowerment.
- Recent studies estimate that child marriage has declined moderately over time but remains a significant issue, particularly in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa where over 40% of women born 1985-1989 married before 18.
- Research finds that child marriage substantially reduces girls' education attainment by increasing dropout rates and lowering literacy, secondary education completion, and fulfillment of the right to education.
- Eliminating child marriage requires a multi-sector approach including improving education quality/access, economic opportunities, community engagement, and laws against underage marriage with proper enforcement.
This document discusses barriers to contraceptive use globally and in Sudan specifically. It begins with an introduction on family planning and contraceptive use trends globally. It then discusses the large unmet need for contraception worldwide, particularly in Africa and benefits of family planning. Barriers to use discussed globally include socioeconomic factors, limited access, side effects, and cultural/religious opposition. Barriers in Sudan specifically include shortage of facilities, staff turnover, socioeconomic factors, low awareness, and lack of dedicated funding. Figures show contraceptive use in Sudan is only 7.7% with 28.9% unmet need, among the lowest rates in Africa.
The document summarizes the key findings of the 2012 Western Upper Peninsula Regional Health Assessment conducted by the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department and partner organizations. It identifies three main themes: 1) The aging population is impacting chronic disease rates; 2) Income and education disparities influence health status and access to care; 3) Prevention is important to address leading causes of death like heart disease, cancer and diabetes which are linked to risk factors like tobacco use and obesity. Health data from the region shows aging populations, poverty, lack of insurance, and lower rates of preventive healthcare.
Teenagers today face many social pressures and academic demands without sufficient parental guidance. Common problems include low self-esteem, bullying, depression, substance abuse, cyber addiction, unwanted sex, and teen pregnancy. Suicide is a leading cause of death for youth aged 15-24 due to stress, confusion, and other mental health issues. In the Philippines, teenage problems are exacerbated by high social media usage rates and rising rates of premarital sex and teen pregnancy. Experts note that absent parents, peer pressure, sexual abuse, and lack of knowledge contribute to poor mental health and risky behaviors for many teenagers.
Teenage pregnancy and home environment factors in ogbomoso, nigeriaAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on the relationship between teenage pregnancy and home environment factors in Ogbomoso, Nigeria. The study used survey data to examine how factors like residential density, household head, household size/composition, housing characteristics, and neighborhood environment relate to incidence of teenage pregnancy. It found teenage pregnancy was higher in areas of high residential density and correlated with factors like living with a single mother, larger household size, and neighborhood peers/media influences. The study concludes home environment plays a role in teenage pregnancy rates and calls for actions to promote supportive home/social environments for youth.

The document summarizes key information about adolescents and youth in Nepal. It begins by defining adolescence as the transitional period between childhood and adulthood, noting it is a time of rapid physical, physiological, sexual, social and emotional changes. Some key points made include:
- 1/5 of Nepal's population and 1/3 of its total population are adolescents and youth respectively.
- Adolescents and youth face important health issues like menstrual disorders, premarital sex, STIs/HIV, early marriage, malnutrition, substance abuse, and mental health problems.
- Investing in adolescent health ensures benefits to current and future health and development.
This 8-page document discusses adolescent reproductive health in Bangladesh and Nepal. It provides comparative information on adolescent pregnancy, childbirth, and menstrual regulation practices in both countries. Some key findings are that Bangladesh has higher rates of adolescent motherhood (64.3%) compared to Nepal (17%), and Nepalese adolescents have better knowledge and practices around menstrual hygiene. The document concludes that sexual education and expanded access to contraceptive methods could help improve adolescent reproductive health outcomes in Bangladesh.
The document discusses reproductive health, defining it as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being related to reproduction. It outlines key issues at different life stages from perinatal to post-menopausal. Statistics on Pakistan show high maternal and infant mortality rates. Ensuring reproductive health requires universal access to services, investing in health systems, and empowering women. Reproductive health issues affect both men and women and must be addressed at all levels of society.
The document discusses improving maternal health as one of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Maternal health needs improvement because pregnancy and childbirth complications are among the top causes of death for women in developing countries. The goals are to reduce maternal mortality, achieve universal access to reproductive healthcare, and reduce pregnancy complications through access to medicine and doctors. Progress has been made in reducing maternal mortality and increasing access to antenatal care and family planning, but accelerated efforts are still needed to meet 2015 targets.

This document provides an overview and analysis of progress towards universal access to reproductive health and family planning based on key indicators. Some key points:
- Globally, contraceptive use has increased to two-thirds of married women, but 12% still have unmet need. The most common methods are female sterilization and IUD.
- Over 80% of married women's family planning needs are satisfied globally, but less than half in Africa.
- 15.3 million adolescent girls give birth each year. Adolescent contraceptive use and access to family planning services lag behind other age groups.
- Disparities exist based on location, education, and wealth. Rural, less educated and poorer
Teenage pregnancy is a significant problem in the United States. Statistics show that less than 2/3 of sexually active teenagers use protection, and unintended teen pregnancies result in health, economic, and social costs. Efforts to address the problem through sex education and prevention programs have had some success. The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative aims to reduce pregnancy rates through evidence-based programs. While progress has been made as the overall teen birth rate has declined 52% since 1991, more work remains to educate teens and reduce risks of unintended pregnancy.
The document discusses adolescent pregnancy worldwide. It notes that approximately 14 million adolescent girls give birth each year, while 4.4 million have abortions. Adolescent pregnancy can lead to social exclusion, greater health risks for both mother and child, and increased risk of living in poverty. Successful prevention programs involve collaborative community efforts and educating youth on contraception and safe sex. Education is key to reducing adolescent pregnancy rates globally.
This document summarizes a study that assessed knowledge of contraceptive methods and the impact of health education among married women in India. The study used a pre-test post-test design and surveyed 1200 married women between the ages of 18-45 before and after a health education intervention. The results showed that before the intervention, knowledge of female sterilization was highest at 93.6%, while knowledge of other methods like oral contraceptives and condoms was lower. After the health education, knowledge increased to nearly 100% for all discussed methods. The study concluded that health education significantly improved knowledge of contraceptive methods and that sociodemographic factors like education level were associated with existing knowledge.
This paper analyzes factors that determine whether women in Ghana, Mali, and Nigeria have heard of effective contraceptive methods. Using Demographic and Health Survey data, the paper finds that wealthier and more educated women are much more likely to have contraceptive knowledge than poorer and less educated women. This suggests that increasing access to family planning information and services could help poorer women achieve their fertility preferences. The findings motivate policymakers to work toward universal contraceptive knowledge and access in order to reduce unintended pregnancies and disparities in fertility rates and socioeconomic outcomes.

This document summarizes research on the links between women's reproductive health, family size, and economic development in East Africa. The research shows that empowering women with access to family planning and reproductive healthcare contributes to economic well-being. When women can control the timing and spacing of pregnancies, it allows them to pursue education and jobs while also having smaller, healthier families. However, many women in East Africa still have unmet needs for contraception and face barriers in accessing quality maternal healthcare. Investing in women's health, lowering costs, and improving access to services could help initiate a cycle of greater health, education, and economic opportunities for women and their families.
Citizen Report Card issue brief on family planning in ugandaFOWODE Uganda
Forum for Women in Democracy in 2012, commissioned a study in Gulu and Luwero districts to measure citizens’ satisfaction with Family Planning (FP) services using a Citizens’ Report Card (CRC).
This grant proposal requests $635,472 to fund an 8-month adolescent sexual health education program in Minnesota schools. Unplanned teen pregnancies lead to dropping out, early marriage, unsafe abortions, and STDs. The program aims to reduce these risks through education on abstinence and contraceptives. It will be administered by 10 staff through counseling, resources, and evaluation to measure decreased pregnancies. Combining education and contraceptive access effectively reduces unintended teen pregnancies.
This document discusses the need for a grant proposal to address adolescent sexual and reproductive health issues. It notes that early sexual activity has increased due to greater access to education and technology, leading to early pregnancies and health risks. The proposal seeks funding to implement sexual education programs in schools to increase awareness of risks, promote abstinence, and advocate for contraceptive use in order to reduce rates of teen pregnancy, early marriage, unsafe abortion, and sexually transmitted diseases.
Teenage pregnancy is defined as any pregnancy in girls aged 10-19 by the WHO. This developmental period prepares girls for motherhood. Teenage pregnancy is more accepted in developing countries where girls often marry and get pregnant young. Causes of teenage pregnancy include increased sexuality due to media influences, lack of supervision, and peer pressure to have sex. Many teens also have unprotected sex due to difficulties accessing and using contraception as well as misconceptions about fertility. This can lead to complications for both mother and child such as poor prenatal care, nutritional deficiencies, anemia, preterm birth, low birthweight, maternal and infant mortality. Early motherhood can negatively impact education and psychological development for both mother and child
Rwanda faces development challenges stemming from factors like low income, past political upheaval, and high population density. While contraceptive use and fertility rates have increased and decreased respectively in recent years due to government programs and policies, unmet need for family planning remains high. Smaller desired family size is associated with education level, region of residence, partner's occupation, exposure to family planning information, and couple communication. Increasing access to and awareness of contraceptives as well as addressing cultural attitudes could further reduce unmet need and support Rwanda's efforts to slow population growth.
Adolescent pregnancy continues to be a grave problem in India not only from the obstetrical point of view but from the social and economical perspectives also. Complications of pregnancy and childbirth are the leading cause of mortality among women between the ages of 15 and 19 in the developing world.
A case study about Teenage pregnancy which is a widespread problem all over the world. Teen pregnancy and childbearing bring substantial social and economic costs through immediate and long-term impacts on teen parents and their children.
The group identified that a lack of adequate sex education is harmful to students. They believe teaching abstinence-only is not enough, as some teens will not choose abstinence. Their proposed solution is to implement a new, reformed health class that is given an hour each school day. This would decrease teen pregnancy and STDs by providing more comprehensive education about safe sex practices and the consequences of unprotected sex. The class would teach students how to protect themselves regardless of their sexuality. The group believes the federal government should mandate this approach nationwide as issues like STDs are global problems.
The document discusses UNFPA's work in Myanmar from 2013-2014. It focuses on supporting the country's first census in 30 years, improving maternal health through increasing access to skilled birth attendants and midwives, and advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights (especially for youth and key populations). Key activities included supporting the national census, advocating for policies to reduce maternal mortality in line with international standards, and building capacity of midwives and traditional birth attendants. However, more work remains to be done to ensure every birth is safe and every person can fulfill their potential.
