Factors associated with teenage pregnancy
Teenage pregnancy was statistically significantly associated with primary [OR = 9.07, C.I = 2.58-33.07] and sec- ondary level of education [OR = 3.85, C.I = 1.57-9.73] when compared with post secondary education. Those from the low socio-economic background were about 4 times more likely to be pregnant as a teenager when compared to those from high socioeconomic background [OR = 3.81, C.I = 1.35-11.61]. Significantly more (58.9%) of the teenage pregnant women were Muslims (OR = 3.32, C.I = 1.70-6.52]. Among the ethnic groups the Hausas [34.8%] had the highest proportion of teen- age pregnancy followed by the Yorubas [25.9%] OR= 3.20, C.I = 0.27-83.54]. Table 2 shows the relationship between socio-dermographic characteristics and teenage pregnancy.
