Abstract:
Teenage pregnancy is a huge public health and social problem affecting all countries. In Africa, the highest rates of teenage pregnancies occur in eastern Africa where Uganda registers the highest number of teenage births. Complications of teenage pregnancy and childbirth have contributed to high maternal and child morbidity, mortality further weakening the already constrained economy. This study sought to explore broader factors for the high rates of teenage pregnancy so that strategies can be identified and recommended for prevention of teenage pregnancy in context of Uganda
