Determinantes da Gravidez na Adolescência no Município de Malanje, em Angola: Um Estudo Caso-Controlo

Abstract

In Malanje, adolescent pregnancy is a multifactorial phenomenon, and preventive strategies must consider the adolescents' age. Among adolescents aged 15 - 17, early marriages, should be reduced, through the promotion of education and the creation of specific laws. For older adolescents, preventive strategies should be focused on avoiding risky behaviors such as early initiation of sexual activity and multiple sexual partners. Comprehensive sexual education, including knowledge about contraceptive methods should be promoted.
