Abstract:
Violence between adolescents during teen pregnancy is relatively new in terms of scientific interest and clinical preoccupations. It is an alarming situation, given that 1) its prevalence ranges from 5 % to 29 % according to the literature; 2) consequences for both the mother's and baby's health are numerous at physical, psychological and sexual levels; 3) scientific and empirical knowledge regarding the phenomenon is limited and diminishes efficacy and relevance of current interventions. It therefore appears of major importance to acquire better knowledge of various ecological factors in order to implement preventative care and services that will allow them as well as their children to thrive in adverse conditions and have access to a safe and supportive environment.
