Intervention proposal to reduce teenage pregnancy

Adolescent pregnancy refers to any pregnancy that occurs during adolescence and includes women up to 19 years of age. Pregnancy bursts into the lives of adolescents at a time when they have not yet reached physical and mental maturity, and sometimes in adverse circumstances such as nutritional deficiencies or other illnesses, and in a family environment that is generally not very receptive to accepting and protecting it. Unplanned pregnancy in an adolescent can cause serious biological and psychological disorders, especially if she is under 15 years of age. In addition to having repercussions on her social sphere, her educational project is interrupted and she is forced to take a job prematurely, generally for poor pay. Sometimes there are hasty marriages that often do not last, with the subsequent social, economic and personal repercussions, as well as on the health of the children.
