“…This study builds on previous research conducted on adolescent pregnancy, unsafe abortion, and the use of contraceptives in Ghana (Agyei, Biritwum, Ashitey, & Hill, 2000;Awusabo-Asare, Abane, & Kumi-Kyereme, 2004;Gyesaw & Ankomah, 2013). Another study has also explored the experiences of adolescent motherhood (Krugu, Mevissen, Münkel, & Ruiter, 2016). In this study, Schlossberg's Transition Theory (Anderson et al, 2012;Evans, Forney, Guido, Patton, & Renn, 2010) is used as a guide to provide more insight into the lived experiences of pregnant adolescents and adolescent mothers in the Hohoe Municipality of Ghana.…”
