A deeper dive into the young women and girls’ lived experiences is detailed in this qualitative data analysis report which provides a better understanding of adolescent women and girls’ unique situations before becoming pregnant, including factors such as their family and household functioning, self-esteem, experiences with romantic and sexual relationships, and their ability to access health services.
Based on in-depth interviews with 23 women and girls who had teen pregnancies, including a thematic analysis from the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, this report details girls’ experiences with their families, friends, partners, and health systems before, during, and after their pregnancies.
