The rates are on the decline worldwide. But adolescent pregnancies still occur, placing
millions of girls each year at risk for medical complications and social isolation,
and their babies for severe health problems--especially when prenatal care is inadequate
or nonexistent. But as the opportunity for young women and girls increases around
the world, adolescent pregnancy will continue to decline. Featuring reports from countries
across the developed and developing worlds, the International Handbook of Adolescent
Pregnancy analyzes the scope of the problem and the diversity of social and professional
responses. Its biological/ecological perspective identifies factors influencing childhood
pregnancy, as well as outcomes, challenges, and needs of very young mothers as they
differ across nations and regions. Salient comparisons are made as cultural contexts
and community support vary widely, and attention is paid to issues such as child marriage,
LGBT concerns, and the impact of religion and politics on health care, particularly
access to contraception, abortion, and other services. This global coverage heightens
the understanding of readers involved in care, education, and prevention programs,
and otherwise concerned with the psychosocial development, reproductive health, and
general well-being of girls
