Discussion
The prevalence of teenage pregnancy in the study population
was 22.9%. This finding is similar to others in Nigeria
and other Africa countries and beyond [35-38].
This study suggests that despite several campaigns
against teenage pregnancy in the developing countries,
the incidence of teenage pregnancy has not decreased.
Innovative approaches to promote the involvement of
the teenagers in family planning activities are urgently
needed. Rural Health care services should make clinics
and family planning centres more youth-friendly, and
enhance community mobilization and informationeducation-
communication (IEC) activities to promote
family planning among youths.
