  • Sexual activity initiation in adolescents is occurring at younger ages.
  • Adolescent pregnancies carry risks like preterm birth, pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), and sexually transmitted diseases.
  • Previous health and contraception campaigns have not significantly reduced adolescent pregnancy rates.

Purpose:
