A descriptive qualitative study of pregnancy experiences, care and decision-making amongst South African adolescent girls and young women
This study examined AGYW's experiences of pregnancy and pregnancy-related services. Findings suggest that SRH services for AGYW in high-risk communities can be improved by training support professionals to be more sensitive and non-judgmental.
