Abstract

DADOORIAN, Diana. Gravidez na adolescência: um novo olhar. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2003, vol.23, n.1, pp.84-91. ISSN 1414-9893.

Teenage pregnancy is a relevant theme nowadays. The traditional focus relates the undesirable teenage pregnancy to social changes in sexuality and to the lack of sexual information. The present study contests this position postulating the importance of the significance of an individual pregnancy, as well as the universal desire of having or not a baby in adolescence, determined by cultural and psychological aspects that particularize the meaning of motherhood in popular classes of adolescents. The conclusions point out the necessity of public policy reformulation.

Keywords : Pregnancy; Teenage; Psicossocial models; Public policies.
