A review of approaches to teenage pregnancy
Article Abstract:
Nurses, health visitors and midwifes have an important role to play in preventing teenage pregnancy and in improving the social and health outcomes resulting from such pregnancies. Programmes to reduce teenage pregnancies include providing contraceptive services, and schools-based sex education programmes. Contraceptive services should be confidential, informal and easy for young people to reach outside school times. Nursing professionals must also respond to the different social and health needs of teenagers during and after their pregnancies and offer them the long-term support needed.
