Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of factors influencing teenagers' pregnancy is a topic of importance for this review, among different studies done I read, four of them were chosen for making this review. On first study tilted gender and sexuality notions as determinants of school pregnancies in Tanzania where the researcher wanted to measure perceptions of girls and boys on sexuality, It is a very good study that showed difference between girls and boys by sex and responsibilities and showed that due to decision making capacity, girls fall under boys and influence pregnancy to them, he said that adolescent themselves must take measures of preventing this issue, I argue saying that critical thinking of adolescents is low meaning that schools should take measures of protecting them while at school. I continue to the study on factors contributing to teenage pregnancy in the Capricorn district of the Limpopo Province, by Tebogo M. Mothiba, Maria S. Maputle, this also enjoyable work despite few arguments in problem statement where there is no explanation of existing problem, there is no statistics showing number of pregnant teenagers, and as he was in the community he was to have data from community members for clarification, in results also, it was better to mention percentages of each factor to influence teen pregnancy, on the factors associated with adolescent pregnancies among secondary school students. A study from Tanga-tanzania by Nyakubega Peter, this is also important work, the researcher mentioned some of factors contributing to adolescents pregnancy in high schools include poverty which is the main factor that contribute up 57.1%, I made argument in recommendation where he recommended parents to teach their children about reproductive health, I argue saying that we are not sure if parents knows about reproductive health and recommendations can be firstly based on important findings, he was to recommend firstly on how to support adolescents from poor families. Concerning The Effects of Teenage Pregnancy on the Educational Attainment of Girls at Chorkor by Charles Gyan, this study also is important, his first objective was to identify factors contributing to teenagers pregnancy then after this he came to effects, he missed an objective, I argued saying that there is no objective showing an intervention on solving existing problem.

Book excerpt: Teenage pregnancies and the eventual dropping out of school has been and still is a major problem bedeviling the education sector in many parts of developing countries. There are various factors that have been associated with teenage pregnancies. Among these factors are social and cultural factors that have not been fully explored in the light of the prevailing teenage pregnancies in secondary schools in Kenya. The main purpose of this study was therefore to examine the influence of these factors in teenage pregnancies among secondary school students in Gucha District of Kenya. The study examined the influence of these factors on teenage pregnancies and the interventions that can be adopted to curb the prevalence. The study employed survey research design. The sample consisted of eighty (n=80) form four students and four (n=4) teachers from four girls' secondary schools that were selected to participate in the study. From each of the form 4 classes in respective schools, twenty (20) students were selected using systematic sampling procedure. Questionnaire was used to collect data from the students while interview method was used to collect data from teachers. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics, employing both quantitative and qualitative approach. Data from the students were purely analysed quantitatively and presented in frequencies and percentages while data from teachers were analysed qualitatively. From the analysis, the study revealed the following: there are certain social-cultural related factors that influenced teenage pregnancies among secondary school students in Gucha District. These included erosion of African traditional norms and values on sexual behaviour, inadequate involvement of women in decision making (especially on reproductive health matters) and prevalence of female circumcision. In regard to the effects, the study revealed that teenage pregnancies are associated with healthy risks, school drop outs among students in the District. The study suggested all stakeholders in education to work together towards implementation of sound community and school based programs to address the issue of social-cultural aspects that are associated with teenage pregnancies among secondary school students.

Book excerpt: Sub-Saharan Africa has one of the highest levels of teenage pregnancies in the world. In spite of that, there is paucity of empirical research on causes of teenage pregnancies in African countries. This paper investigates the determinants of teenage pregnancies based on a case study of Busia District in Kenya. The data are from a household survey conducted in 1998/1999. Empirical results indicate that girls' education level has significant influence on the probability of teenage birth, with non-schooling adolescents and those with primary school level education being more vulnerable. Among the variables used as proxies for access to sex education, availability of church forums that educate adolescents about sex and family life issues reduce probability of teenage pregnancy. Age is positively related to teenage pregnancies, with older adolescents being more predisposed to pregnancies. Though use of contraceptives is found to have a positive effect, only a small proportion of adolescents were using modern contraceptives and, supply side factors such as quality and availability were not accounted for. Other key factors as outlined by the adolescents themselves include peer pressure and social environment-related factors like inappropriate forms of recreation, which act as rendezvous for pre-marital sex, as well as lack of parental guidance and counselling. Overall, lack of access to education opportunities, sex education and information regarding contraceptives, as well the widespread poverty predispose girls to teenage pregnancies. The problem of teenage pregnancies should be viewed within the broader socio-economic and socio-cultural environment in which the adolescents operate. For instance, lack of parental guidance on issues of sexuality and sex education was reinforced by cultural taboos that inhibit such discussions. Adolescents should be equipped with the relevant knowledge to enable them make informed choices regarding sexual relationships. This should be complemented with broader programmes aimed at promoting girl education and poverty alleviation.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teenage pregnancy rates continue to be alarming despite the fact that education about access to birth control is more prevalent than at anytime in history. Adolescent pregnancy and parenthood continue to be a major public and health professional concern because of the potentially adverse consequences of these conditions for individuals, families and society. It is the major contributor to the alarming increase rates in birth, maternal death and morbidity rates. In Africa 24-40%, of all women have their first child before the age of 18 years and up to 40% of all children are unwanted at birth. While in Zambia previous studies have shown that one third of the adolescents became pregnant by the age of 17 years. The main objectives of the study were to explore the factors contributing to an increased rate of teenage pregnancies among high school girls in Mufulira, Zambia and also to establish the teenagers' opinions regarding teenage pregnancy.

Book excerpt: The clinical syndrome of preeclampsia is due to vasospasm, endothelial dysfunction, and altered red cell zeta potential. It is a culmination of multiple etiologies and pathophysiologies modified by epigenetics and the human immune system. Since the etiology and pathogenesis of preeclampsia are segregated and multifactorial, there is no single clinical, biophysical, or biochemical marker that can predict all types of this condition. This book provides a set of tentative specific prediction markers that can be used to identify different subtypes of preeclampsia, classify pathogenesis, categorize treatment, and identify early signs of complications.
