Factors Associated With Teenage Pregnancy in Tanzania: Analysis of the 2022 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey and Malaria Indicator Survey
This study highlights the significant factors associated with teenage pregnancy among teenagers aged 15-19 years in Tanzania. The education system should facilitate the majority of girls obtaining at least a secondary level of education. Teenager-friendly sexual and reproductive health services need to prioritize older teenagers, with lower education levels and those from poor families.
