Teenage pregnancy and its determinants among adolescents during the Ethiopian civil war: a community-based cross-sectional study

This study concluded that the prevalence of teenage pregnancy is high. Factors such as the educational level of adolescents, knowledge of when to take emergency contraceptives, parent-daughter interaction, and living arrangements were statistically significant in relation to teenage pregnancy. Negotiations between armed groups, the creation of a stable environment, and the reopening of schools are necessary to reduce this prevalence. Furthermore, implementing age-appropriate sexual education programs and improving parent-daughter communication regarding sexual health through seminars and workshops are crucial to address the issue.
