Popis: The early pregnancy involves health risks for teens and her babies, psychological disorders, and also has social, economic and educational implications. The most serious consequences for the teenager pregnant or mother are scholar dropouts, parental rejection, high rate of abortions and organ damage. This fact increases the risk of social exclusion of this particular collective. Social factors are the main responsible, mainly the lack of resources and information or education, as well as the exclusion that cause poor nutrition, and insufficient or no prenatal care among others. There is evidence that when proper prenatal care and social support is given, positive results are achieved for both the teen and her baby. There is also evidence of the effectiveness of programs designed to minimize these negative effects by early incorporation into pregnancy monitoring programs, as well as educational and social inclusion. The main problem of these programs is that they are in-person, and there is a need of anonymity in these situations. UEM (2014/20) No data (2015) UEM
