To analyze the effect on adolescent fertility in Montevideo of the Uruguayan law on the voluntary termination of pregnancy that was passed in 2012.
The change in the number of births to teenage mothers between 2010 and 2014 was analyzed, along with their characteristics before and after decriminalization of abortion.
Descriptive analysis of abortion before and after decriminalization showed that there was no reduction, during the period analyzed, in adolescent fertility, nor any changes in the distribution of births.
The normative change brought about by the law on the voluntary termination of pregnancy was not associated with any substantial change in the reproductive behavior of adolescents in Montevideo. We recommend that this analysis is taken further with impact evaluation methodologies.
分析乌拉圭2012年通过的自愿终止妊娠法对蒙得维的亚青少年生育率的影响。
分析了2010年至2014年青少年母亲生育数量的变化，以及堕胎合法化前后她们的特征。
对堕胎合法化前后的描述性分析表明，在所分析的时期内，青少年生育率没有下降，出生分布也没有任何变化。
自愿终止妊娠法带来的规范性变化与蒙得维的亚青少年生殖行为的任何实质性变化均无关联。我们建议采用影响评估方法进一步开展此项分析。
