Teen pregnancy is a research area that explores the societal, economic, and health implications of adolescent girls becoming pregnant. This research often focuses on factors that contribute to teen pregnancy, such as lack of access to comprehensive sex education, economic disadvantage, and social pressures. The consequences of teen pregnancy, including lower educational attainment, higher rates of poverty, and increased risk of maternal and infant health problems, are also studied in this field. Researchers in this area may also investigate interventions and programs aimed at reducing teen pregnancy rates and supporting pregnant and parenting teenagers.
