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. Included in the Handbook:
Biological influences of adolescent pregnancy. Adolescent maternal
health and childbearing. Adolescent pregnancy and mental health.
International perspectives on adolescent fathers. Adolescent
pregnancy as a feminist issue. Adolescent pregnancy as a social
problem. Plus viewpoints from more than thirty countries. As a
unique source of up-to-date findings and clear-headed analysis, the
International Handbook of Adolescent Pregnancy is a go-to reference
for practitioners and researchers in maternal and child health,
pediatrics, adolescent medicine and global health.
