Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: SUMMARY Objective: To map the factors associated with teenage pregnancy in the Northern Region of Brazil. Introduction: Teenage pregnancy is a significant public health problem, related to social, economic, cultural, and structural factors. In the Northern Region of Brazil, socioeconomic inequalities, territorial particularities, and difficulties in accessing health services highlight the need to understand the factors and contexts of vulnerability related to the occurrence of pregnancy in this population. Inclusion criteria: Primary and secondary studies will be included, regardless of methodological design, language, or publication period, that investigate factors associated with teenage pregnancy or present sociodemographic characteristics and contexts of vulnerability related to the phenomenon. Studies involving adolescents aged 10 to 19 years, conducted in the Northern Region of Brazil or presenting results specific to this territory will be considered. Methods: The scoping review will be conducted according to the methodological recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Searches will be performed in the MEDLINE, Scopus, LILACS, SciELO, and BDENF databases, as well as Google Scholar and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. Study selection will be carried out by two independent reviewers using Rayyan software. Data will be extracted using a structured instrument and presented descriptively, distinguishing factors associated with pregnancy occurrence from sociodemographic characteristics and contexts of vulnerability described in the studies.
