Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals high prevalence of pregnancy risk behaviour in sexually active adolescent girls, indicating need for education.

Key Points

  • 63.8% of adolescent girls aged 10–17 engaged in pregnancy risk behaviour in the last year, indicating high vulnerability.
  • The study analyzed data from the 2018 AGYW survey, focusing on sexually active girls aged 10–17 years.
  • Factors like having multiple sexual partners increased pregnancy risk behaviour, while higher education levels were protective.
  • The findings underline the importance of keeping girls in school to reduce pregnancy risk behaviour and promote safety.
