“…De Irala and colleagues [ 25 ] observed that encouraging communication between parents and children about sexual issues helps adolescents make better sexual choices. In Mpumalanga Province, South Africa, Tryphina Skosana and colleagues [ 26 ] noted that the lack of communication between parents and their children has the potential to impact sexual decision-making during adolescence. Taken together, these observations support the need to conduct further research into how the lack of a parent in the household may be linked to an unsatisfied relationship or low parental function.…”

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.

“…However, a multi-country study inclusive of India found that parent-child communication serves as a protective factor against early marriage ( Bhan et al, 2019 ). Studies from elsewhere also demonstrate that parental engagement more broadly, such as positive/validating engagement, educational support, and sexual and reproductive health education, can delay early sexual activity and teen pregnancy ( Deptula et al, 2010 ; Silk & Romero, 2014 ; Skosana et al, 2020 ). There is a lack of research from India examining the associations between parent-child engagement and the timing of marriage.…”

“…Los embarazos adolescentes o a temprana edad aunque ha sido aceptado durante muchos años, en la actualidad representa una problemática tanto en el sector social, salud y económico de un país. Una de las causas que refleja la deficiencia de la laboral del Estado es la falta de educación sexual, esto debido a que en las escuelas no se orienta a los estudiantes soobre sexo, emabarazo, maternidad, anticoncepción y aborto, lo cual disminuye la conciencia sobre estos temas de parte de los menores, así como impone barreras en cuanto a la prevención del embarazo a la adolescencia (Malebo et al, 2020). prevención secundaria, a fin de reducir la presencia de consecuencias físicas o psicológicas en las adolescentes gestantes; y prevención terciaria, a fin de prevenir embarazos posteriores, así como sus posibles riesgos (González et al, 2020).…”

OBJETIVO: El presente tuvo el propósito realizar una revisión documentaria con el objetivo de demostrar la importancia de las políticas públicas con respecto al embarazo en jóvenes adolescentes, debido a que en la actualidad existen porcentajes elevados sobre el incremento de casos, por lo cual es fundamental investigar diversas políticas que contribuyan a disminuirlos. METODOLOGÍA: La metodología que se empleó en el presente artículo estuvo bajo un enfoque cuantitativo y presentó una una revisión de múltiples fuentes las cuales fueron tanto nacionales como internacionales, además de buscar autores que traten de manera clara y precisa esta temática. RESULTADOS: Se obtuvo como resultados que las políticas públicas aplicadas en diferentes países a pesar de sus avances y resultados favorables, resultan insuficientes para disminuir las cifras de adolescentes gestantes. CONCLUSIÓN: Finalmente se concluyó que existen políticas públicas que permiten la prevención de los casos de embarazos en adolescentes, pero que no se están empleando de una manera adecuada debido a que las cifras no disminuyen, es por esta razón, que se requiere que el Estado se comprometa a cumplir con estas estrategias y a su vez, se verifique si se necesitan crear nuevas políticas o mejorar las ya existentes en torno a esta problemática.
