A multiscale geographically weighted regression analysis of teenage pregnancy and associated factors among adolescents aged 15 to 19 in Ethiopia using the 2019 mini-demographic and health survey

Teenage pregnancy is a public health problem in Ethiopia. Policymakers should prioritize addressing early marriage and improving teenage literacy rates, with a focus on the Gambela region and other hotspot areas. It is crucial to implement policies aimed at transforming the traditional practice of early marriage and to take measures to enhance literacy levels and promote awareness about sexual and reproductive health at the family and school levels. This will help ensure that young people have the opportunity to pursue education and make informed decisions about their reproductive health.
