Overview

Observational analysis reveals high unintended pregnancy rates among adolescents during COVID-19 lockdown, highlighting gaps in contraception and education.

Key Points

  • Unintended pregnancies affected 73.2% of surveyed adolescent girls during the COVID-19 lockdown across rural communities.
  • Significant predictors included lack of contraception knowledge and limited access to sex education for these girls.
  • Analysis utilized structured questionnaires with bivariate and multivariate regression techniques for thorough data assessment.
  • Awareness of these factors can help guide parental involvement and support to prevent sexual exploitation during school closures.
