“…In many contexts, this period coincides with the time when young girls begin to express their sexuality and engage in romantic relationships. Similar findings were highlighted by Sidibé et al in Guinea Conakry, who noted a significant increase in the risk of early pregnancy associated with the age of the adolescents [9].…”

Introduction: The growing phenomenon of early pregnancies in Benin has adverse consequences on the lives of adolescent girls, impacting various social, health, economic, and educational aspects. This study aims to identify the factors associated with early pregnancies in the municipality of Bohicon in 2022. Materials and Methods: This is a case-control study conducted in Bohicon, involving 47 cases and 94 controls from 16 secondary and technical schools. Cases were selected exhaustively, while controls were randomly drawn from girls aged 10 to 19 in the same class who had never been pregnant. Matching was based on the type of institution and class. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using Epi info 7.2.1.0 and STATA 15 software, employing multiple conditional logistic regression (5% significance threshold) to identify factors related to early pregnancies. Results: The average age of adolescents was 17.63 years ± 0.09 for cases and 17.12 years ± 0.13 for controls. Associated factors included age over 16 years (p = 0.049), the marital status of the adolescent (single) (p = 0.001), and the monthly pocket money of the adolescent less than 10,000 FCFA (p = 0.031). Conclusion: Three factors related to early pregnancies were identified. To counteract this phenomenon and promote responsible sexuality among adolescents, it is essential to strengthen communication efforts aimed at modifying behaviors.

“…Sixty-six percent of females and 23% of males aged 15–19 are sexually active [ 20 ]. Moreover, the fertility rate is high among adolescents and young adults, at 146 per 1000 women aged 15–19, and 207 per 1000 women aged 20–24 [ 21 ]. The modern contraceptive prevalence remains low and reflects only a slight increase over the past two decades among adolescents and young adults, from 8.4% in 1999 to 12.8% in 2018 [ 19 ], demonstrating unmet need and risk of unintended pregnancy [ 20 ].…”

Background The use of modern contraceptive methods among adolescents and youth is a public health priority to prevent unintended pregnancies. To our knowledge, no study has ever explored and documented factors promoting contraceptive use among urban adolescents and youth in Guinea. The objective of this study was to explore the factors that promote the use of contraceptive methods at the personal, interpersonal, community, and health system levels among urban adolescents and youth in Guinea. Methods We conducted a qualitative research study including twenty-six individual in-depth interviews among adolescents and youth, and 10 group interviews with an additional eighty individuals, for a total of 106 participants. The socio-ecological model was used to orient both data collection and analysis. Data were collected from June to October 2019. Both individual and group interviews were audio-recorded, and transcribed verbatims afterwards. Data was analyzed thematically, using deductive codes. Results The individual factors favoring contraceptive use among adolescents and youth pertained to perceived benefits of the methods (e.g., discretion, absence of side effects, duration of action, ease of use), knowledge of the family planning service channels, and means to afford the cost of the method. The interpersonal factors were spouse/sexual partner approval, and peer suggestions about contraceptive methods. The community factors included socio-cultural beliefs about the methods, and community expectation not to get pregnant before marriage. The health system factors included access to free contraceptive methods, availability of methods, clinical competence and attitude of the health care provider to advise or administer methods, and proximity of family planning services to users’ place of residence. Conclusions This qualitative research shows that many adolescents and youth living in Conakry use a variety of contraceptive methods, whether modern, traditional Access to free or affordable methods, discretion of method use, proximity and availability of methods, and suggestions of methods by peers are factors that motivate adolescents and youth to use contraception. In order to optimally facilitate the use of modern contraception among adolescent and young urban Guineans, we recommend that: (1) adolescents and youth have access to public health strategies enabling them to learn about, obtain, and use methods in a way that allows them to remain discreet; (2) the use of modern contraceptive methods be promoted by peers; and (3) health care providers and peers be adequately trained to have accurate and up-to-date knowledge about the different contraceptive methods available, demonstrate clinical skills for teaching and for method placement (if applicable), and show appropriate attitudes toward this population. This knowledge can inform policies and programs to improve the use of effective contraceptive methods by adolescents and youth living in urban Guinea.
