DAVILA RAMIREZ, Fabián Antonio et al. Risk Psychosocial Factors to School Dropout and Early Teenage Pregnancy. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.1, pp.93-101. ISSN 1692-7273.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revsalud14.01.2016.11.

To explore the frequency and weight that psychosocial risk factors predispose to outcomes of early pregnancy and scholar dropout, a descriptive review was conducted. Materials and Methods: A search and review of the results reported by observational studies in the PubMed database indexed from July 27, 2010 until July 25, 2013 was performed, restricting the search to studies in humans, Spanish or English written, not made in countries in Africa or Asia. Search was widened to LILACS database for the years 2006 to 2013 for Latinamerican countries. For inclusion, all case-control studies comparing different types of interventions and psychosocial risk factors in adolescents were eligible. Results: The review suggests violence experienced during adolescence, sexual abuse, belonging to a low socioeconomic status, low self-esteem, eating behavior disorders, smoking, alcoholism and drug addiction, mental disorders, early initiation of sex, poor family ties, lack of access to information, and resources for family planning as main psychosocial factors related to early pregnancy and scholar dropout in adolescents. Conclusions: Both risk factors associated with pregnancy and scholar dropout were described, and interventions targeting the described risk factors could potentially contribute to the reduction of these outcomes were described.
