Results: Tamil (OR=3.31) and Muslim (OR=1.92)
ethnicity were predictors of teenage pregnancy.

lack of knowledge on disadvantages of teenage
pregnancies (OR=3.79), less support from the
teachers (OR=3.47) and lack of strictness in family
(OR=2.01) have also contributed to teenage
pregnancy. Teenagers with a higher confidence in
decision making (OR=2.11) were also at risk of
