The goal of the study was to get an in-depth knowledge of the various socio-political
factors that influence the occurrence of many pregnancies among adolescent girls in
the Kinondoni municipality, located in metropolitan Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; learn
about current interventional approaches undertaken in order to alleviate this problem,
which is of great socio-political, developmental as well as public health importance;
and uncover their weaknesses. The study was specifically concerned with
determining the existing disparities and inequalities that lead to the occurrence of
adolescent pregnancies, the level of awareness of sexual reproductive health
education, the influence of health care workers’ attitudes on adolescents’ sexual
reproductive health, and lastly identified the gaps in legislative and policy
frameworks that hindered adolescent mothers and pregnant adolescents.
A sample size of 82 respondents was used in the investigation. According to the
study's findings, primary data and secondary data were primarily used as the
methods for data collection. In this study it was study found out that the existing
inequalities had a significant impact on the prevalence of adolescent pregnancies. As
a result, the study rejected the null hypothesis and accepted the alternative
hypothesis. Primary data and secondary data were mostly employed as the
techniques for data collection. It was discovered that adolescents had little
knowledge of sexual reproductive health, and the mean difference in level of
awareness provided by healthcare professionals to adolescents was statistically
significant. The study's goals demonstrated that the medical professionals' attitudes
regarding adolescents were moderate. Since many of the current injustices
considerably influenced how frequently adolescent pregnancies occurred, the study
concluded that socio-political issues had an impact on adolescent pregnancies. The
study suggested that in order to safeguard and promote young people's health,
sexuality education is necessary. [-]
