Pregnancies in adolescents aged under 17 years constitute about 1.3% of all births in Queensland. A study of 189 adolescent pregnancies at the Royal Women's Hospital, Brisbane in 1977-1979 showed adequate antenatal care, and antenatal complications similar to those of a control group. There were greater incidences of unplanned Caesarean section, postpartum haemorrhage and puerperal infection. The major difference in the adolescent group was a perinatal mortality more than double that for the overall hospital population. The role of inadequate education in reproduction in the genesis of many adolescent pregnancies is stressed.
17岁以下青少年怀孕的情况约占昆士兰州所有出生情况的1.3%。1977年至1979年在布里斯班皇家妇女医院对189例青少年怀孕情况进行的一项研究表明，其产前护理充足，且产前并发症与对照组相似。计划外剖宫产、产后出血和产褥感染的发生率更高。青少年组的主要差异在于围产期死亡率比医院总体人群高出一倍多。强调了生殖教育不足在许多青少年怀孕成因中的作用。
