Paul Quinn: Teen Pregnancy, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Pregnant teens have three options - abortion, adoption, and keeping the baby - and each comes with its own challenges and issues.

Teen pregnancy can have an enormous impact on adolescents, their families, and society. What options are available to teens? What resources are available, and what rights and responsibilities do the pregnant teen, the father, and the teen's parents have? Do pregnancy and birth pose unique health risks for mother and child? How does being born to a teen mother affect a child's health and future? This book answers all these questions and more in an accessible, unbiased way.

Part of Bloomsbury's Q&A Health Guides series, Teen Pregnancy: Your Questions Answered follows a reader-friendly question-and-answer format that anticipates reader's needs and concerns. Prevalent myths and misconceptions are identified and dispelled, and a collection of case studies illustrates key concepts and issues through relatable stories and insightful recommendations. Each book in the series also includes a section on health literacy, equipping teens and young adults with practical tools and strategies for finding, evaluating, and using credible sources of health information both on and off the internet - important skills that contribute to a lifetime of healthy decision-making.
