Stakeholder Opinions and Recommendations for Preventing Adolescent Pregnancies: A Qualitative Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aims to explore stakeholder opinions and recommendations for the prevention of adolescent pregnancies.
methodsThis study was conducted using a qualitative case study design, employing in-depth interviews as the primary data collection technique. The study population comprised healthcare professionals, educators, and academics from both the public and private sectors, as well as parents and adolescents. The data were collected using a descriptive characteristics form and a semi-structured interview guide. Ethical approval was obtained from the relevant institutional review board, along with necessary institutional permissions. The data were analyzed using the MAXQDA qualitative research software.
resultAnalysis of the data revealed that parents were unable to discuss sexual topics with their children, and that adolescents similarly found it difficult to communicate about these matters with their families. Academics perceived existing policies as inadequate, while teachers and adolescents found school curricula and course content insufficient. Physicians found adolescent health services inadequate and emphasized the lack of sufficient time for educational sessions in outpatient clinics.
conclusionTo prevent adolescent pregnancies, comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education tailored to cultural and demographic contexts should be provided. School curricula should be expanded to incorporate broader reproductive health topics. Hospitals should establish adolescent outpatient clinics or youth-friendly health units. Additionally, employing school health nurses and establishing sexual and reproductive health units within schools would facilitate regular education sessions for both adolescents and their families.
