Teenage pregnancy

This book is the result of qualitative research carried out by the authors with the aim of analyzing adolescent mothers' perceptions of paternal participation during the pre-, peri- and post-natal periods. Initiated after approval by the Research Ethics Committee of the University Hospital of the Federal University of Maranh?o, the research was based on the BRISA database (Brazilian Birth Cohort of Ribeir?o Preto and S?o Lu?s), selecting adolescents up to 16 years of age, with different marital statuses and from different neighborhoods. The study allows us to understand the process of pregnancy as a significant and complex event in the youth age group, standing out as a public health problem given the needs and risks, as well as the challenges and difficulties encountered at this stage of life. It also discusses the relationship with the family context and the importance of the father figure in the life of the teenager, both in the form of her father and the father figure of her child. The book is aimed at health and related professionals who work with adolescents in some way. We hope you enjoy reading it!
