DAVIDS, E L; KREDO, T y MATHEWS, C. Interventions for preventing unintended pregnancies among adolescents. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2020, vol.110, n.1, pp.7-9. ISSN 2078-5135. http://dx.doi.org/10.7196/samj.2020.v110i1.14281.
South Africa (SA) has an increasingly high rate of unintended pregnancies among adolescents, which are coupled with poor contraception knowledge. We highlight a systematic review that evaluated the effects of prevention interventions for unintended adolescent pregnancies, and provide implications for practice that are relevant to the SA context. The findings suggest the need for multifaceted interventions that are aligned with adolescent sexual and reproductive health best practices to address the unmet contraception knowledge gap, as well as unintended pregnancies among adolescents.
