Unpacking diverse pathways to adolescent pregnancy in Cambodia: Qualitative research with girls in rural, peri-urban, and urban settings
Adolescent girls follow pathways to pregnancy that occur within or outside union. • Within-union pathways stemmed from peer-led, parent-led, or arranged unions. • An outside-union pathway stemmed from romantic relationships and unprotected sex. • Social norms, poverty, and lack of SRH information and services were key drivers. • Program and policy responses should be aligned to girls' pathways
From ‘Pen Sao’ to ‘Tue Pa’: Understanding diverse pathways to adolescent pregnancy in Lao People’s Democratic Republic through qualitative investigation with girls in Vientiane Capital, Vientiane Prov…
Adolescent birth rates in Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR) remain the highest in Southeast Asia. There is growing recognition that adolescent pregnancy in Lao PDR is occurring within and outside marriage, but there is a lack of robust qualitative evidence to understand girls’ pathways to adolescent pregnancy and contributing factors, especially outside of union (cohabitation or marriage). This study aimed to improve understanding of pathway…
Young men’s everyday life experiences with contraception and unintended pregnancy in Papua New Guinea
Unintended adolescent pregnancy is a public health priority in Papua New Guinea (PNG), where national policies specify need for easier access to reliable modern contraceptives. To reduce young people’s experiences of unintended pregnancy in PNG, improved understandings of use of modern and other forms of contraception within young people’s relationships is required to support the development of new sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programs an…
Contemporary pathways to adolescent pregnancy in Indonesia: A qualitative investigation with adolescent girls in West Java and Central Sulawesi
In the last decade, reduction in adolescent fertility rates in Indonesia has slowed despite national programmes and policies focused on addressing child marriage. Indonesia currently has the highest number of births to adolescent girls aged 15–19 years in Southeast Asia. There is a need to develop a more nuanced understanding of the drivers of adolescent pregnancy in Indonesia to inform programmes and policies tailored to young people’s needs and…
You can still have dreams for your child’: Filipino young people’s lived experiences of parenthood
This study aimed to explore Filipino young people's lived experiences of parenthood. We employed narrative analysis of 27 photo elicitation and semi-structured interviews with 10 Filipino adolescent mothers (aged 15–19) and five young fathers (aged 18–24). We found that young parents developed constructions of 'good' mothers and fathers, invoking discourses of responsibility, sacrifice, and 'intergenerational repair' as they transitioned into the…
Direct’ and ‘instant’: The role of digital technology and social media in young Filipinos’ intimate relationships
Young people today grow up in a social landscape in which digital technology and social media are ubiquitous in daily life and interpersonal relations, including intimate (romantic and sexual) relationships. This study sought to study Filipino young people's relationship motivations and contexts in the digital age. We found that digital technology and social media are transforming the way Filipino young people approach and behave in intimate rela…
Adolescent sexual initiation and pregnancy: What more can be learned through further analysis of the demographic and health surveys in the Philippines
In the absence of reliable, easily accessible data on adolescent SRH, the DHS data can provide important insights about adolescent reproductive transitions such as sexual initiation and first pregnancy. However, there are limited variables in the datasets that could proxy for other important social determinants which prior studies have linked to adolescent SRH outcomes. There remains a need for timely and targeted collection of quantitative and q…
