ABSTRACT
A cross sectional descriptive observational study was conducted at the Encrucijada municipality in 51 pregnant teenagers who were recruited in 2008; epidemiological factors related to care for pregnant adolescents as a preconception risk, were determined. A survey was applied to them and family health history was revised. Although most couples were composed of teenagers, difference in age was a relevant factor. Family dysfunction was directly proportional to early sexual relationship and to pregnancy in this period. Most respondents knew about family planning consultation, but they did not attend to it; medical offices do not develop a leading role with regard to care for pregnant adolescents as a preconception risk, and little perception of risk was evident in those with obstetric history.REFERENCES
