Predictores de embarazo en adolescentes del centro de salud San Cayetano: un estudio de casos y controles

Abstract

Abstract: Adolescence is considered a crucial stage of change and development for the human being, and a period of heightened vulnerability as it marks a transition. Teenage pregnancy constitutes a social and public health problem in the country that requires multidimensional attention and is related to socioeconomic, emotional, and psychosocial factors. The family is considered the central axis; the role of parents contributes to personal development by transferring models upon which their behavior is based. Family absence and dysfunction have repercussions on the life trajectory of young women.
