Abstract:
Background: In Myanmar, the adolescent fertility rate (aged 15-19 years) has increased two folds over the past years (from 17 per 1,000 girls in 2007 to 36 births per 1,000 girls in 2015). Complications of early pregnancy and childbirth become major causes of death among adolescent girls in Myanmar. The contraceptive use among adolescents is lower than those of other age groups.
