Reducing teenage and unintended pregnancies through client-centered and family-focused school-based family planning...

Achievement of the national health goal to reduce teenage and unintended pregnancies through family planning requires a holistic approach to primary prevention. Building upon Rogers' Science of Unitary Human Being, Orem's Self-Care Theory, and Rosenstack's Health Belief Model, a client-centered and family-focused school-based family planning program is proposed as a means to achieve the health goal. FNPs play a pivotal role in development and successful implementation of such a program.
