Description & Coverage
Description:

Teenage pregnancy is a public health concern that is growing more prevalent in both developed and developing countries.

Featuring research on topics such as minority populations, family dynamics, and sex education, this book is ideally designed for healthcare students, medical professionals, practitioners, nurses, and counselors seeking coverage on the issues, reasons, and outcomes of teenage pregnancy, as well as preventive strategies to combat teenage motherhood.
