“…Women who have DM during pregnancy give birth to children who are also at an elevated risk of early-onset DM, which leads to a vicious cycle of disease risk [7]. A further consideration is the high rate of teen births amongst Latinas, who have twice the rate of live births than those of non-Latino whites [8], are more likely to be younger (13–15 years of age) [9], and less likely to have taken periconceptional folic acid [9].…”

Background:Latinas are at a higher risk than Caucasians for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes (DM), as well as DM-associated reproductive health (RH) complications. Healthcare providers (HCPs) should deliver culturally-sensitive care to enhance the care relationship between Latinos and HCPs and to improve patient outcomes. This study explored an expert panel’s cultural understanding, experiences, barriers, and facilitators regarding RH and preconception counseling (PC) for adolescent Latinas with DM and their families.Methods:This study used open-ended questions with a focus group of 8 HCPs from the mid-Atlantic, Southwest, and Northwest regions of the United States in a teleconference format. Two researchers transcribed and reviewed the transcript for accuracy. Using content analysis, four members of the team identified themes. All researchers discussed themes and a 100% consensus was reached. For confirmation, a coding protocol was created based on the emerging themes.Results:Five themes related to cultural understanding and experiences were identified: 1) issues of identity; 2) acculturation; 3) stigma; 4) ambivalence toward birth control, RH education, and PC; and 5) cultural sensitivity vs. best practice. Four barriers were identified: 1) language; 2) religion; 3) access to healthcare, and 4) discomfort with discussion. Ten facilitators were identified: 1) the importance of support and support networks; 2) promoting trust among HCPs, daughters, and families; 3) assessing emotional development; 4) empowerment; 5) emphasizing safety; 6) communicating in patients’ preferred language; 7) discussing RH-related topics and PC using cultural sensitivity; 8) importance of being ready/temporality/planning for the future; 9) the importance of family-centered care; and 10) variation in educational tailoring and dissemination/ care delivery.Conclusions:Findings support the need for culturally sensitive and developmentally appropriate PC programs to empower adolescent Latinas with DM.

“…Adolescent pregnancy is commonly associated with adverse psychosocial, socioeconomic, and health outcomes (Sedgh, Finer, Bankole, Eilers, & Singh, 2015). Compared with older mothers, women who become pregnant in adolescence tend to have lower levels of educational attainment and socioeconomic status, and children of adolescent mothers are more likely to have low birth-weight and developmental and behavioral difficulties (Case, Hoyt, Canfield, & Wilkinson, 2015; Chen et al, 2007; Ganchimeg et al, 2014; Kawakita et al, 2016; Raneri & Wiemann, 2007; Timur et al, 2016). Estimates indicate that greater than 90% of adolescent pregnancies occur in low- and middle-income countries (Chandra-Mouli, Camacho, & Michaud, 2013; Kirbas, Gulerman, & Daglar, 2016; World Health Organization, 2014).…”

The leading causes of death and disability among Ugandan female adolescents aged 15 to 19 years are pregnancy complications, unsafe abortions, and childbirth. Despite these statistics, our understanding of how girls perceive adolescent pregnancy is limited. This qualitative study explored the social and contextual factors shaping the perceptions of adolescent pregnancy and childbirth among a sample of 12 currently pregnant and 14 never pregnant girls living in the rural Rakai District of Uganda. Interviews were conducted to elicit perceived risk factors for pregnancy, associated community attitudes, and personal opinions on adolescent pregnancy. Findings indicate that notions of adolescent pregnancy are primarily influenced by perceptions of control over getting pregnant and readiness for childbearing. Premarital pregnancy was perceived as negative whereas postmarital pregnancy was regarded as positive. Greater understanding of the individual and contextual factors influencing perceptions can aid in development of salient, culturally appropriate policies and programs to mitigate unintended adolescent pregnancies.
