Riyanti Riyanti, Muji Sulistyowati, Rini Fortina, Ira Dwijayanti

Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess the influence of various community factors, including parents, peers, schools, and community leaders in initiatives aimed at preventing adolescent pregnancy. The methodology involved a comprehensive database search across Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect and ResearchGate. The primary search terms used were ‘community roles’ and ‘prevention of adolescent pregnancy’. There were seven articles obtained for analysis of the suitability of the topics, objectives, methods used, sample size, and results in each article. We evaluated the relevance of selected articles for their relevance to the topic, alignment with research objectives, research methods employed, sample sizes, and the results presented in each article. The main findings indicate that community factors play crucial roles in supporting adolescent pregnancy prevention. This study explores the significance of the community, encompassing peers, parents, schools, and the environment as key support and social control factors within the framework of adolescents’ pregnancy prevention.
