Abstract
Adolescent pregnancy rate in Turkey is similar to those in developed countries. However, there are considerable differences which possible reflect ethnic and socio-cultural differences, in between two populations. Our major problems seem to be the low rate of previous effective contraceptive use for unintended adolescent pregnant women and the high rate of inadequate prenatal care for adolescent pregnant women, even if their pregnancies are intended.
