Abstract: Increasing teen pregnancy cases are becoming a serious public health concern in both developing and developed nations for past decades. Teenage pregnancy occurs among adolescent girls between 10 and 19 years old. A recent study reveals that 14 out of every 1,000 female teenagers in Malaysia become pregnant every year. Such prevalence suggests there is still a lack of general understanding of reproductive health matters among the teenagers. The issue of teen pregnancy requires considerable attention to prevent more social and health problems such as more unintended pregnancies, baby dumping and extensive spread of sexually transmitted diseases within society.
