“…Family problem as an immediate determinant of adolescent sexual activity has been pointed out by various studies [3][4][5][6]. The present study also supports this and revealed that more pregnant adolescents hailed from family problems when compared with non-pregnant controls (P = 0.000).…”

Objective(s) To determine the risk factors for pregnancy among unmarried adolescents and young adults. Method(s) Case-control study was done over a period of 2 years. Data collected from 181 unmarried abortion seekers and 181 unmarried non-pregnant controls (B24 years) attending three Medical Colleges of Kerala. Results Logistic regression analysis showed a strong association between unmarried adolescent pregnancy and lack of parental supervision and control (OR 8.74, P = 0.000), poor intra-family relationship (OR 7.01, P = 0.000), family problem (OR 4.41, P = 0.000), lack of knowledge on sexual and reproductive health (OR 4.95, P = 0.0003), and nonengagement of adolescent in any productive activity (OR 4.41, P = 0.0373). Conclusion(s)Lack of parental control, family problem, poor intra-family relationship, lack of knowledge on sexual and reproductive health, and lack of engaging in any productive activity were found to be significant predictors for unmarried adolescent pregnancy.

Aim:The aim of the systematic study was to determine the effect of parenting practices on adolescent risk behaviours such as substance use and sexual risk behaviour.Method: Quantitative research studies were systematically collected from various databases such as Academic Search Complete, MEDLINE (Pubmed), JSTOR, Project Muse and SAGE for the duration of 2003-2013 which was within the 10 year period of relevant literature to the date of study.Results: Findings established that parental monitoring and communication prevented drug initiation, delayed alcohol initiation, and sexual debut, increased alcohol refusal efficacy, and decreased delinquent behaviour and risk taking behaviours in high risk adolescents. Conclusion:This review shows that parental practices play significant protective and promotive roles in managing adolescent risk behaviours.

“…However, research literature has yielded contradictory results regarding the relationship between parent-adolescent communication and adolescents' safer sex behaviour. Some studies indicated that more parent adolescent communication was related to less sexual risk taking behaviour [11,12,13], while others found that more communication was related to more sexual risks [14][15][16][17]. Still others did not find any association at all; instead they found that other factors such as parental monitoring were more important in predicting adolescents' sexual behaviour than parent-adolescent communication [18,19].…”

Background: This paper describes communication patterns of parents and their adolescent children with regard to sexual matters, HIV and AIDS and other STIs from the perspectives of parents, youth and key informants. The objectives of this study were to determine the sexual communication patterns that young people and their parents used; identify the challenges and barriers to communication between youth and their parents and recommend ways to address these challenges. Data were collected from youth, parents and key informants. Understanding these sexual communication patterns was necessary for the adaptation of an HIV prevention program called BART (Being A Responsible Teen) that was developed in the US to educate youth to delay sexual debut, promote abstinence, prevent teenage pregnancy, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections among this youth.
