Keywords: | Teenage pregnancies, explorative case study, parenthood, rural secondary schools, Zimbabwe | Issue Date: | Jan-2011 | Publisher: | National Inquiry Services Centre | Series/Report no.: | Journal of Psychology in Africa;Vol.21, No. 4; p. 577-579 | Abstract: | This study investigated influences on fertility control and early parenthood among teenage learners from a rural district in Zimbabwe. Data on perceived influences on risks for early parenthood were collected from 1320 female secondary school learners (mean age=16 years, SD=1.35) using a semi-structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed descriptively. Teenagers believed to be at risk for early parenthood from early sexual debut, material poverty and peer influences to engage in sexual relationships. | URI: | http://dx.doi.org.10.1080/14330237.2011.10820500 http://hdl.handle.net/11408/1505 |
