South Africa is reporting higher rates of adolescent pregnancy as compared to other countries. There are different types of interventions that are in place to address teenage pregnancy. However, these interventions were developed using top-down strategy without the inclusion of different stakeholders and adolescents which makes it hard to implement those interventions particularly in countries like South Africa. Hence, this study aimed to develop strategies to enhance sexual health education for prevention of teenage pregnancy in Vhembe District, Limpopo Province of South Africa.

Purposive sampling will be used to sample the targeted participants of the study. The data collection method will be done in phases and focus group discussions will be used to collect data.

This study will add to the body of knowledge regarding the strategies that maybe used to enhance sexual health education for prevention of teenage pregnancy.
与其他国家相比，南非报告的青少年怀孕率较高。为了解决青少年怀孕问题，已经采取了不同类型的干预措施。然而，这些干预措施是使用自上而下的策略制定的，没有包括不同的利益相关者和青少年，这使得这些干预措施难以实施，特别是在南非这样的国家。因此，本研究旨在制定战略，以加强性健康教育，预防南非林波波省 Vhembe 地区的青少年怀孕。
本研究的研究设计将是合作探究。研究将在南非林波波省的 Vhembe 地区进行，与一个非政府组织（NGO）合作。研究人群将是青少年以及在其专业领域照顾青少年的所有不同利益相关者。将采用目的性抽样来抽取研究的目标参与者。数据收集方法将分阶段进行，将使用焦点小组讨论来收集数据。将使用内容分析来分析数据。
本研究将为增强性健康教育以预防青少年怀孕的战略提供更多的知识。
