But adolescent pregnancies still occur, placing millions of girls each year at risk for medical complications and social isolation, and their babies for severe health problems--especially when prenatal care is inadequate or nonexistent.   But as the opportunity for young women and girls increases around the world, adolescent pregnancy will continue to decline. Featuring reports from countries across the developed and developing worlds, the  International Handbook of Adolescent Pregnancy analyzes the scope of the problem and the diversity of social and professional responses. Its biological/ecological perspective identifies factors influencing childhood pregnancy, as well as outcomes, challenges, and needs of very young mothers as they differ across nations and regions. Salient comparisons are made as cultural contexts and community support vary widely, and attention is paid to issues such as child marriage, LGBT concerns, and the impact of religion and politics on health care, particularly access to contraception, abortion, and other services. This global coverage heightens the understanding of readers involved in care, education, and prevention programs, and otherwise concerned with the psychosocial development, reproductive health, and general well-being of girls. Included in the Handbook:   Biological influences of adolescent pregnancy. Adolescent maternal health and childbearing. Adolescent pregnancy and mental health. International perspectives on adolescent fathers. Adolescent pregnancy as a feminist issue. Adolescent pregnancy as a social problem. Plus viewpoints from more than thirty countries.   As a unique source of up-to-date findings and clear-headed analysis, theInternational Handbook of Adolescent Pregnancy is a go-to reference for practitioners and researchers in maternal and child health, pediatrics, adolescent medicine, and global health. 606 $aGynecology 606 $aSocial service 606 $aSchool psychology 606 $aGynecology 606 $aSocial Work 606 $aSchool Psychology 615 0$aGynecology. 615 0$aSocial service. 615 0$aSchool psychology. 615 14$aGynecology. 615 24$aSocial Work. 615 24$aSchool Psychology. 676 $a155.4 676 $a155424 676 $a306.7 676 $a306.7/0835 702 $aCherry$b Andrew L$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDillon$b Mary E$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300082603321 996 $aInternational Handbook of Adolescent Pregnancy$91521797 997 $aUNINA
