Abstract:
The objective of this work was to study the perception of teenagers for their own sexuality in the Tunisian socio-cultural context. One hundred teenagers participated in the study. They filled in an anonymous self-report questionnaire, consisting of 14 items relative to the aspects that seemed to us the most meaningful concerning teenage sexuality. Eighty-one percent of the participants did not manage to provide answers, in conformity with scientific data, to a minimum of 75% of the items. Fifty percent considered masturbation at adolescent age to be pathological. The possibility of a homosexual tendency during adolescence was rejected by 75%. Eighty-one percent perceived the subject of teenage sexuality as embarrassing. They were not permissive regarding the issue of sexual protected relations amongst adolescents in 44% of the cases, and regarding the interest that a female teenager could have in sexuality in 23% of the cases. Our study demonstrated a relatively high frequency of prejudice relating to teenage sexuality amongst the teenagers, reflecting the impact of the taboo on sexuality and particularly on the female teenager in the Tunisian socio-cultural context. The change in mentalities regarding teenagers’ sexuality should take place very smoothly.

Abstract:
Teenage pregnancies are a global problem, the 2018 Riskesdas Data recorded 2,867 teenage pregnancies (10-19 years) and 15 of them were aged 10-14 years. BPS Indonesia reports that the average teenage births in 2018 were 36/1000 births and in Provinsi Jambi 46/1000 births (national target 18/1000 births). One effort to reduce this number is to provide education. Therefore, the Baiturrahim STIKes team carried out community service activities at the Posrem Droseros Danau Sipin, the working area of the Puskesmas Putri Ayu, Kota Jambi. Based on the initial survey, it is known that there were 30 teenage pregnancies (16-19 years) from 01-31 August 2022 which were possibly caused by the large number of teenagers dropping out of school; feeling bored with the online learning system during the co-19 pandemic. Other factors are: drug use/history of drug use; free sex/premarital sex; unwed pregnancy; the presence of HIV-infected adolescents; economic factors; Not all teenagers actively participate in education and other activities. The series of activities started from September 2022 to February 2023 at the Rumah Tenun Disperindag Kota J which was attended by 22 teenagers (1 pregnant teenager, 1 post-abortion teenager, 2 teenage mothers). This activity was also attended by 2 posyandu cadres for pregnant women and toddlers, as well as 3 health workers from Puskesmas Putri Ayu. Material delivered via power point for 50-60 minutes. Before and after education, pretest and posttest were carried out using the same questionnaire. The results obtained were an average increase in knowledge of 1.5 and attitude of 3.4 points after being given education about efforts to prevent pregnancy in adolescents.

Abstract:
Aim The paper examines teenage alcohol use from an intergenerational perspective through an ethnographic case study of interaction between teenagers and adults. Methods Two periods of ethnographic fieldwork were conducted in a rural Danish community of approximately 6000 inhabitants. The fieldwork included 50 days of participant observation among 13–16-year-olds (n=93) as well as semi-structured interviews with small self-selected friendship groups. The present paper presents an analysis of field notes from a night of participant observation that is used as an emblematic example of informants' alcohol use and their interaction with adults. Theoretically, the paper adopts French philosopher Michel de Certeau's conceptual framework for understanding the practice of everyday life, in particular his distinction between strategic and tactical action. Results Two scenarios are described and taken to represent two different adult approaches to teenage drinking. In Scenario I, adults accept a group of teenagers' drinking in the home, and in Scenario II adults create an alcohol-free space which they guard against the intrusion of intoxicated teenagers. In both cases, however, adults use their intergenerational position in order to strategically contain teenage drinking. Meanwhile, teenagers act tactically by adjusting their alcohol use in time and space. Further, the use of alcohol marks a shift in the interaction between adults and teenagers in so far as it enables teenagers to create and control a place of their own and hence signal their independence from adults. Conclusion The paper points to the creative, tactical agency of teenagers in response to adult strategies. It is illustrated how teenage alcohol use becomes a transformative factor for adult–teenager relationships, and in particular how teenagers rework intergenerational power differences by taking on drinking.

Abstract:
Introduction. One of the major public health issues across the whole world these days is teenage pregnancy which is defined as being pregnant in the age ranging from 13–19 years. About 11% of all births which occurred worldwide accounted for girls aged 15 to 19 years. From these, 95% teenage deliveries occur in low- and middle-income countries. World health 2014 statistics show that complications during pregnancy and childbirth are the second cause of death for 15–19-year-old girls globally. The aim of this study was to determine adverse obstetrical and perinatal outcomes of teenage pregnancy among deliveries at Lemlem Karl General Hospital, Tigray, Ethiopia, 2018. Result. This study result showed that 17.5% of the teenagers and 6.8% of the adults deliver low birth weight neonates. From the total teenage mothers, about thirty-five (11.3%) of them had developed pregnancy-induced hypertension, whereas about thirteen (4.2%) of adults develop pregnancy-induced hypertension. Regarding cesarean delivery, forty (12.9%) of those teenage mothers deliver by a cesarean section while 58 (18%) of the adult mothers deliver by cesarean delivery. Teenage pregnancy was significantly associated with adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes, a cesarean delivery (AOR: 0.57; 95% CI, 0.36–0.90), episiotomy (AOR: 2.01; 95% CI, 1.25–3.39), and low birth weight (AOR: 2.22; 95% CI, 1.13–4.36), and premature delivery were 2.87 (1.49–5.52). This study shows that adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes were significantly associated with teenagers than adult mothers. Therefore, giving health education on focused ANC is very important to bring change to the teenager at this study area.

Abstract:
The social stigma of cancer is a powerful source of stereotyping and prejudice against people affected by oncological disorders. Two cross-sectional studies attempted to (1) provide a formal and content characteristic of the stereotype of teenage cancer patient and (2) analyze explicit and implicit prejudice against them. In the first study, 2,370 middle school students proposed open-ended descriptions and quantified 50 attributes representing physical appearance, cognitive, task-oriented, social, and emotional functioning of the teenage cancer patient. In the second study, 207 undergraduate students of education completed the Implicit Association Test, which contrasted the teenage cancer patient with a teenager as a reference category. Content analysis of 11,191 open-ended descriptions and exploratory factor analysis of 50 attributes showed that teenage cancer patients were characterized in the emotional, social, and physical appearance domain. The IAT revealed that teenagers with cancer automatically induced moderate negative prejudice not linked with similarly negative explicit prejudice. Negative explicit and implicit prejudice suggests that teenagers with cancer may be omitted or disfavored by classmates and teachers, therefore they require special treatment in school and out-of-school environments. The findings and their practical implications were discussed in light of theories of stigmatization, stereotyping, and prejudice against cancer patients.

Results Among 492 teenage and equal adult primigravidae, 51.8% of teenage were unbooked compared to 13.6% of adults. 68.4% of teenage were anemic compared to 33.32% of adults, antenatal complications like anemia, Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, oligohydramnios, hypothyroid were significantly more in teenagers (69.5%) compared to adults (19.3%), 33.7% of teenagers had preterm birth compared to 8.72% in adults. 48.3% of teenagers had LSCS compared to 21.9% of adults. Indication was CPD in majority of teenagers (45.4%). 31.74% of teenagers had low birth weight child compared to 16.6% in adults and 34.5% of teenage neonates required NICU admission compared to 12.4% in adults. Interpretation and conclusion It can be interpreted that teenagers had significant number of complications in pregnancy including leading cause being anemia, more preterm incidences and higher rate of LSCS followed by higher number of NICU admission. Pregnancy itself has a tremendous effect on teenage and her family. Teenage pregnancy is more common in low socioeconomic status, due to lack of education, awareness of complications of teenage pregnancy, and various other factors. Hence awareness and various programmes should be taken up to educate mainly the poor in our rural setup. As early marriage cannot be prevented in our culture so possibly the awareness regarding late conception can be taken up as of utmost importance. How to cite this article Dutta I, Dutta DK, Joshi P.

Abstract:
This article examines the peculiarities of the formation of motivation among teenagers to engage in sports, which potentially affects the quality and effectiveness of their eSports training. Taking into account eSports development dynamics and the rapid growth of the population of teenage eSports players, the study of their motivation to engage in eSports is one of the most urgent socio-pedagogical issues. The main motives and factors that encourage young people to support this mainstream are analyzed. It is noted that the analysis of motivation peculiarities among eSports teenage players will allow a better understanding of the nature of such a socio-cultural phenomenon as eSports, and in the future this knowledge can be used in the development of practical recommendations for teenager selection in eSports teams. Conducted studies prove that the motivation of teenagers to engage in eSports is formed according to the needs of each. Also, the peculiarities of motivation are influenced by factors that do not depend on the wishes of teenagers: the rapid development of information and communication technologies, the COVID-19 pandemic, etc. It was established that such factors as socialization, escapism, self-realization, the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills, rivalry, self-esteem improvement, mood improvement and financial support are aimed as the needs of teenagers and influence their motivation to engage in eSports. At the same time, it’s recommended to take into account the peculiarities of teenager motivation when selecting them for professional teams from various eSports disciplines.

Ethnicity, religion and education were associated with knowledge of teenage pregnancy. Conclusion: Knowledge about the risk and drawbacks of early marriage and early pregnancy should be increased not only among teenage girls but also to their parents and in-laws to change the attitude and practice of early marriage and teenage pregnancy.

Abstract:
Teenage pregnancy and childbirth is a social problem in many Asian countries including Nepal. Many quantitative studies have been done on teenage pregnancy, its outcomes, and challenges faced by teenager, but very little are known about their perceptions and experiences about teenage pregnancy and their consequences during childbirth. This study aimed to explore the perceptions and experiences of teenage pregnancy and childbirth among teenage mothers. This study has adopted phenomenology approach to explore the perceptions and experiences of being a teen mother. Study was based on data collected through in-depth interviews (IDIs), and Focus Group Discussion (FGDs). All respondents provided verbal as well as written consent to face the interview. IDI guide was used to collect information among teenage mothers to assess their perception and experiences on teenage pregnancy and childbirth. Similar guide was used for FGDs. Collected information was manually processed through qualitative content analysis and grouped into theme and subthemes. The teenage mother understood that teenage pregnancy and childbirth is a risk for both mother and child. A majority of them perceived that low education, poverty, love marriage, family problems, in-laws pressure; cultural prospects are aggravating factors leading to teenage pregnancy. Almost all of the respondents mentioned the negative impact of teenage pregnancy on the health. But very few respondents knew advantages of teenage childbirth. Most of them however knew that the teenage pregnancy can be prevented. Access to family planning services to teenage mothers, community awareness, and government support is needed to reduce teenage pregnancy and childbirth.

Abstract:
Background: Teenage pregnancy (pregnancy among girls aged 13-19 years) is prevalent in Uganda but data about the associatedfactors are limited.Objective: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with teenage pregnancy in Buliisa district, western Uganda. Wehypothesized that fertility awareness is associated with reduced likelihood of teenage pregnancy.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we included girls aged 15-19 years and collected data using a structured questionnaire.The modified Poisson regression analysis was used to determine the association between fertility awareness and teenage pregnancy,adjusted for confounders, reported using adjusted prevalence risk ratio (aPR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).Results: Of 246 teenagers, the prevalence of teenage pregnancy was 41.5% while fertility awareness was 56.7%. The age category 18-19 years (aPR, 3.44; 95% CI, 2.16-5.47), fertility awareness (aPR, 1.80; 95%CI, 1.30-2.51) and Muslim faith (aPR, 1.37; 95%CI, 1.04-1.80) were associated with increased likelihood of teenage pregnancy. Living with a father (aPR, 0.61; 95%CI, 0.48-0.76), mother (aPR, 0.65; 95%CI, 0.524-0.81), or both parents (aPR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.43-0.76) was associated with a reduced likelihood of teenage pregnancy.Conclusion: The prevalence of teenage pregnancy in Bulisa district is high. There is a need to target teenagers with correctfertility information, including the engagement of parents and religious leaders.

Abstract:
Abstract Aims/hypothesis The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics and outcomes of pregnancies in a national cohort of teenage (<20 years) and young adult women (≥20 years) with and without childhood-onset (<15 years) type 1 diabetes. We hypothesised that, owing to poor glycaemic control during the teenage years, pregnancy outcomes would be poorer in teenage mothers with type 1 diabetes than young adult mothers with type 1 diabetes and mothers without diabetes. Methods The Brecon Register of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes diagnosed in Wales since 1995 was linked to population-based datasets in the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank, creating an electronic cohort (e-cohort) of legal births (live or stillbirths beyond 24 weeks’ gestation) to women aged less than 35 years between 1995 and 2013 in Wales. Teenage pregnancy rates were calculated based on the number of females in the same birth cohort in Wales. Pregnancy outcomes, including pre-eclampsia, preterm birth, low birthweight, macrosomia, congenital malformations, stillbirths and hospital admissions during the first year of life, were obtained from electronic records for the whole Welsh population. We used logistic and negative binomial regression to compare outcomes among teenage and young adult mothers with and without type 1 diabetes. Results A total of 197,796 births were eligible for inclusion, including 330 to girls and women with childhood-onset type 1 diabetes, of whom 68 were teenagers (age 14–19 years, mean 17.9 years) and 262 were young adults (age 20–32 years, mean 24.0 years). The mean duration of diabetes was 14.3 years (9.7 years for teenagers; 15.5 years for young adults). Pregnancy rates were lower in teenagers with type 1 diabetes than in teenagers without diabetes (mean annual teenage pregnancy rate between 1999 and 2013: 8.6 vs 18.0 per 1000 teenage girls, respectively; p < 0.001). In the background population, teenage pregnancy was associated with deprivation (p < 0.001), but this was not the case for individuals with type 1 diabetes (p = 0.85). Glycaemic control was poor in teenage and young adult mothers with type 1 diabetes (mean HbA1c based on closest value to conception: 81.3 and 80.2 mmol/mol [9.6% and 9.5%], respectively, p = 0.78). Glycaemic control improved during pregnancy in both groups but to a greater degree in young adults, who had significantly better glycaemic control than teenagers by the third trimester (mean HbA1c: 54.0 vs 67.4 mmol/mol [7.1% vs 8.3%], p = 0.01). All adverse outcomes were more common among mothers with type 1 diabetes than mothers without diabetes. Among those with type 1 diabetes, hospital admissions during the first year of life were more common among babies of teenage vs young adult mothers (adjusted OR 5.91 [95% CI 2.63, 13.25]). Other outcomes were no worse among teenage mothers with type 1 diabetes than among young adult mothers with diabetes. Conclusions/interpretation Teenage girls with childhood-onset type 1 diabetes in Wales are less likely to have children than teenage girls without diabetes. Teenage pregnancy in girls with type 1 diabetes, unlike in the background population, is not associated with social deprivation. In our cohort, glycaemic control was poor in both teenage and young adult mothers with type 1 diabetes. Pregnancy outcomes were comparable between teenage and young adult mothers with type 1 diabetes, but hospital admissions during the first year of life were five times more common among babies of teenage mothers with type 1 diabetes than those of young adult mothers with diabetes.

Abstract:
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the psychosocial challenges of pregnant teenagers in Ga South Municipality. The specific objectives were to: explore the nature of teenage pregnancies, assess psychological challenges affecting pregnant teenagers, assess social challenges of pregnant teenagers and suggest counselling interventions that can ameliorate identified challenges. Methodology: The research design used in this study was qualitative because the study aimed to understand the psychosocial experiences of teenage mothers in schools. The study used a purposive sampling method which is an example of non-probability sampling technique. Pregnant teenagers between ages 10-19 were recruited and in-depth interview (IDI) was carried out. The IDI was chosen because it gives more information on sensitive issues. Data processing and analysis started on the day of the in-depth interview. Findings: The study revealed that multiple factors contribute to the high levels of teenage pregnancy in the Ga South Municipality and most pregnant teenagers go through a lot of psychosocial challenges. The results and findings show that the canker of teenage pregnancy requires a multi-faceted approach at both structural and individual levels to tackle the challenge. Furthermore, poverty and low levels of living conditions in rural areas contributed greatly to high incidence of teenage pregnancy as observed in Ga South Municipality Area. It is recommended that; Ghana Education Service will need to revise its curriculum and enable teachers enhance their knowledge and skills in teenage sexual health and values clarification sessions. Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: Churches and other religious bodies should educate their members about the effects of teenage pregnancy and its impacts on children through counseling and also plan for activities that mostly involve marriage couples.

Abstract:
Background: Teenage pregnancy has been regarded as a negative occurrence in recent times due to its various negative consequences on the overall wellbeing of the teenage mother and her child, the whole family system and the entire community at large. Teenage pregnancy rate is a powerful indicator of the total well-being of a population. Purpose: The aim of the study was to explore professional nurses and secondary school teachers’ own perspectives on teenage pregnancy and to ascertain the current teenage pregnancy prevention programmes within the two selected communities in Kwara and Edo states in Nigeria. Methods: The study was qualitative and contextual with an exploratory strategy. A total of 80 participants, who were professional nurses and secondary school teachers, responded to the semi-structured interview and completed a questionnaire on demographic data. Template analysis style was combined with content analysis for data analysis. Results: Our findings revealed limited teenage pregnancy prevention initiatives in the communities. The majority of the participants expressed that teenage pregnancy is a common occurrence in their communities, but it is not acceptable. More than half of the participants did not accept the usage of contraceptives by teenagers. Conclusions: The study identified a number of factors that may influence the rate of teenage pregnancy in the communities. Therefore, strategies to reduce teenage pregnancy should focus on building social capital for teenagers in communities, making information on contraception more accessible and offering programmes that empower girls in the area of sexuality.

Abstract:
Teenage pregnancy is a significant public health problem in developing countries. Due to biological and social factors, teenagers have more negative health outcomes when pregnant. Pregnancy also causes teenagers to drop-out from school, affecting their job opportunities and long-term financial security. As the risk factors for teenage pregnancies are complex and context-specific, effective strategies to reduce teenage pregnancies must be informed by evidence.This study analyzed the data collected by the 2014-2015 Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey in Rwanda. The risk factors associated with 2768 females aged between 15-19 years in the dataset were identified using logistic regression.The overall teenage pregnancy rate was 7.3%. Teens were more likely to have a teenage pregnancy if they were 17 years old (OR=7.04, 95%CI: 2.67 - 18.58, p<0.001), 18 years old (OR=3.78, 95%CI: 1.36 - 10.47, p=0.011), and 19 years old (OR= 3.85, 95%CI: 1.34 - 11.01, p=0.012) compared to teens under 16 years old. Those with secondary or higher education (OR=0.36, 95%CI 0.22 - 0.61, p=<0.001) were less likely to have a teenage pregnancy compared to those with primary school only. Teens had higher odds to have teenage pregnancy if they were married/in union (OR= 45.9, 95%CI: 21.34 - 98.73, P<0.001), and interestingly, if they were using contraceptive methods (OR= 68.9, 95%CI: 29.49 - 160.80, P<0.001).Policy makers should consider programs keeping girls in schools and ensuring that teenagers have access to reproductive health information and reliable contraceptive methods at an early age. Teenage marriage should be discouraged.

Abstract:
The services and incentives provided by social policies significantly affect teenage pregnancy and childbearing outcomes. Policies that offer tangible family-planning services and that improve access to and affordability of abortion have stronger, more consistent effects on teenage sexual behavior than do those that focus on changing personal attitudes and values. Higher welfare benefits may provide an incentive for pregnant teenagers to forgo marriage. Policies that improve teenagers' educational and earnings opportunities appear to contribute indirectly toward reducing teenage pregnancy and childbearing. This effect likely arises because better economic prospects lead teenagers to believe that they have something to lose by becoming parents, thus motivating them to defer having children.

Abstract: Purpose: This paper aims to investigate the relationship between education and teenage pregnancy, and its grave consequences on vulnerable teenagers. Methodology: A systematic random sampling method was used to select a sample of two hundred young teenagers from the eight villages that make up the Ihuokpara community. Frequency tables and pie charts were used for the analysis and interpretation of data, while chi-square (x2) was used in testing the hypothesis. Results: The findings revealed that teenage pregnancies occur as a result of a lack of education (Ignorance) about sexuality and other reproductive health-related issues. However, the findings also revealed that there is a water-tight relationship existing between education and the tide of teen pregnancy so that the rate of awareness of sexuality determines the rate of teenage pregnancy. Limitations: This study only examines some factors such as the low level of education (ignorance) about sexuality, human reproduction, sexual health, and other reproductive health-related issues that may cause teenage pregnancy in Ihuokpara. The future researcher may find other factors that are not included in this study. Contribution: This study hopefully can give some things that are important for the individual, family, and communities to lend their support to others in their articulated efforts toward the teenage pregnancy cases.

Teenage pregnancy is a serious public health and social problem, with 95%% occurring in developing countries. This study aimed to seek explain how awareness creation can be used to reduce the rate of teenage pregnancies in Lira district. A descriptive survey design was used and the study population was teenage girls. Data was collected using a document review guide since only secondary data was used in this study because of the short time. Secondary data got from plan Uganda Results indicates a drop in teenage pregnancy in five sub-counties in Lira District. It was further found established that the use of mass media and community dialogue helps in reducing the risk of teenage pregnancy by influencing behaviour towards contraceptive use, acquainting teenagers with knowledge of pregnancy prevention, creating a positive social environment. Radio programs and newspapers releases like straight talk and rock point 256 are among the mass media programs used to create awareness about teenage pregnancy. Alternatives of to reducing teenage pregnancy were are birth control, use of modern contraceptives, awareness about birth control, keeping teenagers in school, and positive religious beliefs have also been found as a major factor. Interventions focusing on retaining pregnant and married girls at in school, information on sexual and reproductive health of teenage girls, improving access to and information about contraceptive use among teenage girls, improving socio-economic status of households, and law enforcement on sexual abuse among girls may should be used to improving improve adolescent sexual and health services in Lira District.

Abstract:
The work reveals certain elements of the subculture supported by modern teenagers: language features, “revenge-answers”, jokes, quatrains (chants, “sadistic” rhymes), etc. Adolescence is defined as a special period of the personality formation and socialization. The study hypothesizes that social behavior of a teenager is represented through such elements of subculture as folklore genres (school, post-folklore). Teenage folklore is interpreted from the standpoint of the phenomenology of children’s self-consciousness at various stages of its develop- ment and ontogenesis. From this perspective teenage folklore is a mechanism for the development of ethno-cultural socialization and ethnic self-identification, a condition of meaning-making and cultural activity. The research has systematized the methodological base for the study of chil- dren’s folklore and its individual genres. The purpose of the article is to offer to specialists, who are engaged in psychological and pedagogical support of adolescents’ learning and personal development, the materials of relevant school folklore characterizing the specifics of the behavioral subculture. Another aim is to offer psychological and pedagogical interpretation of such materials for further modeling of their pro- fessional activity. The research methods include a survey and standardized observation. The study sample in- cludes 120 teenagers studying in the 6th-9th grades of Saratov schools (N = 120; M = 13,4 years old; boys – 42 %, girls – 58 %). The design of the study is indicated: its purpose, objectives, es- sence, prospects. For individual genres, the results of the local study are compared with the results of all-Russian surveys. The study draws conclusions about the main trends in the modern language of teenage com- munication and about psychological difficulties reflected in the supported folklore. The research sets the task of studying the artifacts of teenage culture in order to establish a holistic invariant scheme of its main elements. Psychological and pedagogical prospects of the conducted research are outlined.

Abstract:
Background The mental strain of pregnancy and child-rearing can lead to depression, especially when the expectant mother is also a teenager who will need robust social support to adequately cope with motherhood at this vulnerable stage of life. In Nigeria, teenage pregnancy and motherhood can prevent them from acquiring an education or the skills to earn money, and many teenage mothers struggle with depression and other health issues. Aim To assess the relationship between perceived social support and level of depression among pregnant and child-rearing teenagers in the Ife East Local Government Area, Southwest Nigeria. Methods A descriptive study design was employed and a structured questionnaire was used to elicit response from 120 pregnant and child-rearing teenagers who were selected using a multistage sampling technique. Descriptive statistics were computed on sociodemographic characteristics, level of perceived social support, and level of depression among respondents. The Pearson correlation test was used to assess the relationship between perceived social support and level of depression. Findings More than half (54.2%) of the respondents reported a moderate level of perceived social support, and few respondents (12.5%) reported that they received low social support. Many (44.2%) of the respondents reported no depression, and few respondents (10.0%) were categorised as severely depressed. The study found a significant, moderately strong, negative correlation between respondents' level of social support and depression (r=−0.510, P=<0.0001). Conclusion There is a significant association between the level of perceived social support received and the development of depression among pregnant and child-rearing teenagers in Nigeria. Hence, there is an urgent need for appropriate community health information, education and programmes to facilitate support for pregnant and child-rearing teenagers. This will help to reduce depression and improve health outcomes for teenage mothers.

Abstract:
The high levels of depression among teenage mothers have received considerable research attention in smaller targeted samples, but a large-scale examination of the complex relationship between adolescent childbearing and psychological distress that explores bidirectional causality is needed. Using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) and the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study—Birth Cohort, we found that teenage mothers had higher levels of distress than their childless adolescent peers and adult mothers, but the experience of teenage childbearing did not appear to be the cause. Rather, teenage mothers' distress levels were already higher than their peers before they became pregnant, and they remained higher after childbearing and into early and middle adulthood. We also found that distress did not increase the likelihood of adolescent childbearing except among poor teenagers. In this group, experiencing high levels of distress markedly increased the probability of becoming a teenage mother. Among nonpoor teenage girls, the relationship between distress and subsequent teenage childbearing was spurious.

Reports research into the sexual behaviour of UK teenagers at the margins of society, the project was a response to the Social Exclusion Unit’s brief to reduce the rate of teenage conceptions and to move teenage parents into education, training or employment. Focuses on the issues of recruiting teenagers for interview, methodology, and building trusting two‐way relationships with them so that sensitive subjects like condom use could be discussed. Characterises these teenage parents and their social status, and compares the UK with the rest of Europe: the former has a simultaneously puritanical and prurient culture. Finds that pairs of friends provided an open and honest environment for research, while journals and cameras provided to the teenage respondents were an essential part of the project. Finds that for them sex is often spontaneous, accompanied by alcohol, and invariably unprotected.

Abstract:
Background: Teenage pregnancy is a pregnancy in a woman of age group 10-19 years which is a worldwide public health problem in both developed and developing countries. Pregnancy during this period is usually unplanned and is associated with increase maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The overall aim is to study the obstetric outcome in teenage pregnancy and comparing them with the adult group. Materials and methods: A hospital-based study was conducted among teenager primiparous women aged 13-19 years while comparing them with 20-24 years primiparous delivering in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology in Pokhara, Nepal from July 20, 2017 to November 12, 2017. Medical details of the patients were retrospectively collected from the medical record section and used to record sociodemographic features, mode of deliveries, and gestational age at delivery, fetal and maternal outcomes on a structured observational checklist. Results: The incidence of teenage pregnancy was 11.22%. The mean age of teenager and control groups were 18.17± 0.86 and 22.13± 1.61 years respectively. The incidence of teenage pregnancy was higher in Dalits. Literacy was another factor that made a significant difference. The study group in comparision with the control had more vaginal delivery without episiotomy and less cesarean delivery. But there was no statistical significance in the incidence of instrumental delivery. The incidence of live birth, intrauterine fetal death, neonatal death and NICU admission had no statistical significance. Conclusion: Teenage pregnancy had more vaginal deliveries and less cesarean sections. Teenage pregnancy is not associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes.

Abstract:
Background. The incidence of teenage pregnancy is increasing in the world. It is a high-risk condition leading to adverse perinatal and obstetric outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the obstetric and perinatal outcomes of teenage pregnancy in Indonesian population. Method. A retrospective study was conducted to evaluate obstetric and perinatal outcomes among teenagers and average maternal age (AMA) women. We assessed all singleton live pregnancies during the year period of 2013 in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. Results. We studied 1,676 eligible subjects during the one-year period in our centre. The prevalence of teenage pregnancy (12 to 19 years old) was 11.40% (191/1676). We found higher prevalence of eclampsia (AOR: 4.03; 95% CI: 1.73–9.39), preterm delivery (AOR: 1.5; 95% CI: 0.88–2.53), anaemia at labour (AOR: 2.42; 95% CI: 1.60–3.67), postpartum haemorrhage (AOR: 2.59; 95% CI: 0.86–7.37), and low birth weight (AOR: 2.28; 95% CI: 1.60–3.25) among teenagers. However, caesarean section was found to be significantly lower among teenage pregnancies. Conclusion. Teenage pregnancy carries significant obstetric complications that should draw physicians’ serious attention. A holistic, comprehensive antenatal, and preventive program should be conducted to prevent teenage pregnancy-related adverse outcomes.

Abstract:
With the hyper-speed development of the networks, online streaming is the future trend of watching films and TV series. Netflix, as one of the earliest streaming service companies, is indeed successful in the market. As the competition among online streaming companies is getting tougher, it is important to understand the market and marketing strategies. Against this background, this study aims to explore 1) the importance of developing and exploring the teenage drama market, 2) the benefits and possible problems of existing teenage drama, and 3) online and offline marketing methods used by Netflix targeting teenage audiences. Through literature search and case studies of existing teenage drama, it is indicated that teenagers learn from drama, which may imitate the behaviors of characters in the drama. Furthermore, there will be positive influences that lead to benefits for the growth of teenagers as they can learn to deal with things they may someday encounter. The findings also suggest that social media, which most teenagers use every day, is one of the best ways drama producers can access to those teenage audiences. Offline marketing is helpful in making direct interactions with potential audiences and can make audiences experience scenarios which make them feel more realistic. The findings may be helpful for companies in the industry to understand the market and audiences, also the marketing strategies to use.

Abstract:
Background:Teenage pregnancies contribute substantially to global health hazards, particularly in places like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Where social and economic conditions conspire to make unions between spouses early and their childbearing follows soon after. Despite initiatives to tackle this problem, restricted examination exists on the obstetric effects of adolescent pregnancies in this territory Objective This retrospective study analyzed obstetric outcomes and complications between teenage mothers aged 14 to 18 and older mothers aged 19 to 36 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The aim was to compare risks between the two groups. Study design: a retrospective study. Place and duration of study. Department of Gynecology D.H.Q. Hospital Timarghra from 05 march 2021 to 05 February 2022 Material and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in kpk, Pakistan, from Department of Gynecology D.H.Q. Hospital Timarghra from 05 march 2021 to 05 February 2022 all 14-18-year-olds who gave birth in the two hospitals had obstetric outcomes compared to non- adolescent women (19-36). chi-square and students' t-tests were used with a 0.05significance level. Results: out Of the 910 births, 128 (14.1%) non-teenage moms, teenage mothers had higher rates of serious anaemia (7.5 vs 4.1%), chorioamnionitis (2.6 vs 0.6%), and post-maturity (4.6 vs 1.8%) and meconium inhalation syndrome (6.5 vs 2.4%), respectively. Teenagers were less prone than adults to be overweight. Instrumental deliveries are more common in teenagers (7.1% vs 2.2%, p 0.01). Preterm birth, low birth weight babies, rds, and neonatal and foetal deaths did not vary substantially between the two groups. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that teenage pregnancies are associated with a higher risk of severe anaemia, chorioamnionitis, post maturity and meconium aspiration syndrome compared to non-teenage pregnancies. Preterm delivery, low birth weight infant, R.D.S., and fetal and perinatal death were not significantly different between the two groups. The results of this study suggest that teenage mothers need to be provided with appropriate obstetric care to reduce their risk of poor outcomes.

Abstract:
Adolescence is a key developmental period in one’s life course; health-related behaviors of adolescents can be linked to lifelong consequences, which affect their future health. Previous studies highlight the role of family and its significant association with adolescents’ health. In East Asia and the Pacific, the Philippines is the only country that is showing an upward trend of teenage pregnancy while other countries in the region have declining teenage pregnancy rates. Against this backdrop, this study investigated the association between teenage pregnancy and family factors, specifically parent structure. Data for the study were extracted from the Philippine National Demographic and Health Survey 2017. All adolescent women aged 15–19 years old (n = 5120) were included in the analyses. The dependent variable was teenage pregnancy, while parent structure, defined as a presence or absence of parents in the domicile, was the exposure variable. Multivariable logistic regression was utilized in assessing the association of teenage pregnancy and family factors after adjusting for several potential confounders. Adolescent women were more likely to become pregnant as a teenager when they lived with neither parent (aOR = 4.57, 95% CI = 2.56–8.15), were closer to 19 years of age (aOR = 2.17, 95% CI = 1.91–2.46), had knowledge of contraception (aOR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.22–1.32) and lived in a big family (aOR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.09, 1.20). Furthermore, adolescent women who lived with neither parent and belonged to the poorest wealth quintile were more likely to become pregnant as a teenager (aOR = 3.55, 95% CI = 1.67–7.55). Conversely, educational attainment higher than secondary education (aOR = 0.08, 95% CI = 0.01–0.49) and those who belonged to the richest wealth quintile (aOR = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.18–0.92) exhibited a statistically inverse association with teenage pregnancy compared with those with no education and from the middle wealth quintile, respectively. Living with neither parent was found as a risk factor for teenage pregnancy. Furthermore, we found that several sociodemographic factors exhibited a non-uniform increment and reduction in the risk of teenage pregnancy.

Abstract:
Teenage pregnancy is a challenging issue and public health concern for families, health workers, societies, governments and adolescents themselves both in developed and developing countries. A descriptive study was conducted to find out contributing factors of teenage pregnancy among the pregnant teenagers at selected hospitals of Dhaulagiri zone. Fifty pregnant teenagers attending these hospitals for antenatal check-up and delivery were selected by using non- probability purposive sampling technique. Data were collected by semi structured interview schedule and analyzed and interpreted using descriptive statistics. The finding of this study revealed that 48% respondents were 18 years old, 98% were Hindu, 78% were homemaker, and 15% had positive history of teenage pregnancy in family either-side. Regarding contributing factors of teenage pregnancy, 76% had lower secondary level of education, 92% were living in rural areas, 34% and 58% respectively had no knowledge about its consequences and disadvantage, 14% had faced problem in getting contraceptive of own choice, 94% had cultural acceptance for early marriage and in 58% guardians were less strict in trying to monitor activity were contributing factors of teenage pregnancy. Based on the findings, it is concluded that most of the identified factors were modifiable. For minimizing the teenage pregnancy, chances for girls in formal education should be increased, vocational training should be provided to those not continuing their education, and parents need to be equipped with knowledge regarding teenage pregnancy.

Abstract:
SummaryThis study sampled 8432 singleton first live births from Taiwan's 2005 Birth Registration Database to determine if there were more pre-term or low birth weight deliveries among aboriginal women than there were among Han Chinese women, and if the ‘weathering’ hypothesis applied to aboriginal women in Taiwan. Although the aboriginal women were socially disadvantaged and engaged in more unhealthy behaviours, including smoking, drinking, chewing betel quid and exposure to second-hand smoke, the evidence did not support the hypothesis that these teenaged minority women would have better birth outcomes, as has been demonstrated among teenage African-American women in the United States. Behaviours and not ethnicity were risk factors for teenage aboriginal mothers, who started deleterious health behaviours earlier than did their older counterparts. Teenage mothers had more adverse outcomes regardless of ethnicity and aboriginal mothers had more risky behaviours in all age groups. The prevalence of detrimental health behaviour among teenage mothers in Taiwan is of concern, particularly for aboriginal teenage mothers.

Abstract:
Evidence from sub-Saharan Africa indicates that 35 percent of pregnancies among 15-19-year (s)-olds were unplanned, unwanted, or untimed and that the teenagers’ relationships were unstable. Teenage pregnancy is a global problem especially in developing countries. Teenage pregnancy is associated with several social issues: poverty, low education levels, and the lack of awareness about sex and pregnancy prevention. The contributing factors for teenage pregnancy are multiple and complex categorised as socio-demographic, familial, cultural, and reproductive behaviour. Different literature reported that factors associated with teenage pregnancy include living in rural areas, not attending school, early marriage, lack of communication between parents and adolescents about sexual and reproductive health (SRH) issues, educational level of the teenagers and family history of teenage pregnancy. A scoping review was conducted from February 2021 to August 2021 using the following specific subject databases: Google scholar, PubMed, EBSCOhost, and research gate. Special attention was paid to keywords during navigation to ensure consistency of searches in each database. English language, studies conducted in sub-Sahara Africa and articles published in the last 10 years (2011–2021), were the three limiters applied in the four databases. The researchers identified eight themes for inclusion in the findings. The themes fell into three major categories: individual related factors, family related factors and external factors. These themes reflect factors associated with teenage pregnancy. The review revealed that there are several risk factors that lead to teenage pregnancy. Therefore, there is urgency for strategic interventions aimed at improving teenage pregnancy through female education and sexual and reproductive health education must also be introduced or reinforced in schools. Policy makers, community leaders and school curriculum can act towards raising the age for marriage to after 20 years and make the methods of contraception accessible to teenagers. Qualitative techniques like focus group discussions in communities could be helpful in reflecting on the root cause of the problem.

Abstract:
Introduction: A major public health issue in the world is teenage pregnancy and its consequences. Sixteen million birth occurs in teenage pregnant women between 15-19 years of age in the world. Aim/Objectives: To find the frequencies of pre-eclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, birth asphyxia, anemia and intrauterine death (IUD) in teenage pregnancy and adult-age pregnancy. Methodology: A total of two hundred patients were booked for ante-natal care and patients were divided into two different groups equally i.e., teenage pregnancy and adult-age pregnancy (TP Group and AP Group). Teenage pregnancy group ranged from 14 to 19 years, and AP Group ranged from 20-30 years. One hundred (100) pregnant ladies were registered for each group. Those pregnant women who had co-morbid were excluded from the study. Pregnant women were booked for ante-natal care from twenty-eight weeks of pregnancy to forty-one weeks of pregnancy for both groups. Result: The mean age of pregnant women was 16.25 ±4.90 years in the teenager pregnancy group (TP Group) and 26.00 ± 5.00 years in the adult-age pregnancy group (AP Group). The mean BMI of patients was 24.50 ± 0.75 kg/m2 in the TP Group while it was 26.25 ± 3.50 Kg/m2 in the AP Group. The concentration of mean hemoglobin was 9.25 ± 0.75 mg/dl in the teenager pregnancy group and it was 12.50 ± 0.50 mg/dl in the adult-age group (AP Group) and the p-value was 0.003 (significant). Mean systolic blood pressure was 130mm of Hg in the TP Group, and 120mm of Hg in the AP Group while mean diastolic blood pressure was 85mm of Hg in Teenage pregnancy and 75mm of Hg in Adult-age pregnancy. Anemia, pre-eclampsia, intrauterine death (IUD), postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and birth asphyxia were more in the teenage pregnancy group as compared to the adult-age pregnancy group. The mean gestational age in teenage pregnancy was 30.75±1.25 weeks and it was 38.80 ± 0.70 week in the adult-age pregnancy group. Conclusion: The frequency of pre-eclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, birth asphyxia, intrauterine death and anemia were more in teenage pregnancy (TP Group).

Abstract:
As teenage use of social media platform continues to proliferate, so do concerns about teenage privacy and safety online. Prior work has established that privacy on networked publics, such as social media, is complex, requiring users to navigate not only the technical affordances on the platform but also interpersonal relationships and social norms. We investigate how teenagers think about privacy on the popular image-sharing platform, Instagram. We draw on an online survey (N=144) and semi-structured interviews (N=21) with teenagers, ages 13-19, to gain a better understanding how teenagers configure privacy on the popular image-sharing platform Instagram and why they make these privacy decisions. Finally, based on our findings, we provide design recommendations towards the design of better privacy controls for promoting teenage safety online.
