Why is it important?
our finding shows that all socio-economic factors are significantly associated with adolescent pregnancy and motherhood. Hence the need for stakeholders to reinforce existing policies to reduce these public health issues.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a challenge at first time as I was the lead author among other 3 co-authors for the first time, meaning taking in-charge of every component especially the discussion section. This was my first time of writing a discussion section. However, after the first review, it came out that, I perfectly did well in that section with any correction. This encouraged me to venture into collaboration to strengthen my writing skills.
