Unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in adolescents continue to be major health problems around the world. They are associated with sex that occurs without contraceptive protection. We determined the relationship of family, personal, and social factors with the non-use of any contraceptive method during the first sexual experience in 1409 adolescent women. The most significant risk factors were being less than 15 years of age and lacking knowledge and awareness about contraceptive methods. In the family environment, the risk factors were living in an incomplete family and the existence of a poor relationship among the father, the mother, and the adolescents. Socialization with friends who became sexually active at an early age was also associated with having sex for the first time without protection. This information should be used in sexual and reproductive education programmes to prevent unplanned pregnancy and STIs in adolescent women.
青少年意外怀孕和性传播感染（STIs）仍然是全球主要的健康问题。这些问题与没有避孕措施的性行为有关。我们确定了家庭、个人和社会因素与 1409 名青春期女性首次性行为时不使用任何避孕方法之间的关系。最显著的危险因素是年龄小于 15 岁，以及缺乏关于避孕方法的知识和意识。在家庭环境中，危险因素是生活在不完整的家庭中，以及父亲、母亲和青少年之间关系不佳。与很早就开始性行为的朋友交往也与第一次无保护性行为有关。这些信息应该用于性教育和生殖健康教育计划，以预防青少年女性的意外怀孕和性传播感染。
