“…The difference between the rates of teenage pregnancy found by GRAVAD and by our study can be explained by the fact that the teenage pregnancy rate is much lower for respondents with higher family income than those in lower income brackets 19 and our respondents had a lower average income than in GRAVAD. 16 In this sense, our results are in line with previous findings, 8,17,19,20 that point to the impact of class inequality on the probability of being a parent during adolescence.…”

In this article, we investigate how gender-based violence (GBV) affects the sexual and reproductive health of impoverished adolescents and young adults. We analyse data from a 2011 survey of 450 young women and 300 young men aged 15-29, living in poor neighbourhoods of three middle-sized cities in Minas Gerais, Brazil. In this survey we used a closed-ended questionnaire to collect data from 150 women and 100 men in each city. Our main goal was to explore the relationship between GBV and young women's autonomy in relation to their sexuality, using indicators appropriate to Brazil. Our results showed a decreased prevalence of condom use at first intercourse and an increased prevalence of teenage pregnancies among young women who were in a relationship with a controlling and violent partner. Lower condom use was observed mostly among young men who acknowledged being violent and controlling towards a partner and they also were more likely to have made a partner pregnant as teenagers themselves. We conclude that some variables utilized here as indicators of control and violence from a partner and of young women's autonomy can help us to understand how GBV inside relationships affects the reproductive and sexual health of young men and women, and how empowering them can reduce their susceptibility to unwanted pregnancies and HIV and other STI infections.

“…A literatura sobre essa temática é ampla, sendo que a maior parte dos estudos tem delineamento transversal e quantitativo, enfatizando aspectos negativos da vivência, enquanto os estudos qualitativos tendem a revelar aspectos positivos e adaptativos em relação à maternidade. Dentre alguns dos problemas comumente relacionados à esta condição, destacam-se os riscos para a saúde de mãe e filho, o baixo nível socioeconômico, o início precoce da menarca e relações sexuais, abandono escolar, violência sexual entre mulheres com menos de 14 anos, sofrimento psíquico e dificuldades na adoção de comportamentos contraceptivos, que se constituem como experiências subjetivas e graduais, adquiridas ao longo do tempo (Brandão & Heilborn, 2006;Caputo & Bordin, 2007;Cavasin et al, 2004;Cerqueira-Santos, Paludo, Schirò, & Koller, 2010;Levandowski, Piccinini, & Lopes, 2008;Sabroza, Leal, Souza, & Gama, 2004;Taquette, 2008).…”

ResumoCom o objetivo de identificar as repercussões ocorridas na vida de adolescentes que engravidaram entre 12 e 14 anos, em contexto de vulnerabilidade social, foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas e aplicados mapas de redes com 10 participantes, quando o filho estava entre um e três anos de idade. Os dados foram analisados qualitativamente, a partir da Teoria Fundamentada Empiricamente, de Anselm Strauss e Juliet Corbin. Os resultados evidenciaram que, após a experiência de gravidez e da maternidade, as adolescentes desenvolveram maior responsabilidade por sua vida reprodutiva e reformularam projetos, valorizando mais os estudos, apesar das dificuldades para retomá-los. O relacionamento com os parceiros caracterizou-se pela união estável, destacando-se a importância destes e das mães das adolescentes em seu processo de adaptação. Palavras-chave: Gravidez na adolescência, desenvolvimento, saúde sexual e reprodutiva, vulnerabilidade social. AbstractAiming to identify the effects occurring in the lives of adolescents who became pregnant between 12 and 14 years old in a context of social vulnerability, we conducted semi-structured interviews and used network maps with 10 participants when their children were between 1 and 3 years old. The data were analyzed qualitatively, from the Empirically Grounded Theory of Anselm Strauss and Juliet Corbin. The results showed that after the experience of pregnancy and motherhood, adolescents developed greater responsibility for their reproductive lives and reviewed some future projects, giving more value to the studies, despite the difficulties to resume them. The relationship with partners was characterized by getting more stable, highlighting the importance of adolescents' partners and mothers in their adjustment process.

Adolescent Pregnancy in Argentina: Evidence-Based Recommendations for Public Policies

In Argentina adolescent pregnancy is still regarded as a public health problem or a ''social epidemic'' . However, it is necessary to ask from which perspective and for whom it is a problem, and what type of problem. This article presents the findings of a large quantitative and qualitative study conducted in five Northern provinces and two metropolitan areas of Argentina in [2003][2004]. Based on the results of a survey of adolescent mothers (n=1,645) and ten focus group discussions with adolescent girls and boys, it addresses the connections between school dropout, pregnancy and poverty, and makes recommendations on how to tailor health care and sexuality education to address local realities. The findings indicate a need to develop educational activities to promote safer sex and address gender power relations in programmes working with deprived communities. Sexuality education with a gender and rights perspective, and increasing accessibility to contraceptive methods for adolescent girls and boys is also crucial. Antenatal and post-partum care, as well as post-abortion care, should be improved for young women and viewed as opportunities for contraceptive counselling and provision. Male participation in pregnancy prevention and care also needs to be promoted. A2008 Reproductive Health Matters. All rights reserved.
