Abstract

Objective: to determine the relationship of family support and other sociodemographic factors with the state of pregnancy in adolescent women between 13 and 19 years of age in Colombia. Material and Methods: an observational, cross-sectional study was carried out with analytical intent based on the results of the 2015 National Survey of Demography and Health. Expansion factors were used to estimate and describe the population characteristics. To determine the statistical relationship of family support with pregnancy adjusted for other sociodemographic factors, a binomial regression with logarithmic link model was performed. Results: 86.2% of the adolescents were not pregnant. Family support RP: 0.26, being under 15 years old RP: 0.34, having sex with a condom RP: 0.11, having information on safe sexual practices RP: 0.68 and having higher education RP: 0.51 were factors associated with pregnancy status. Discussion: it is important to implement and transform intersectoral policies and strategies that emphasize the inclusion of the family as a guideline for adolescents, in addition, to guide the topics of sexual health education according to age groups according to the level of maturity and autonomy that the teenager has.
