Future research should assess each theme to explore its contribution to the higher burden of teen pregnancies among sexual minority compared with heterosexual women such data can inform public health prevention campaigns and evidenced-based curricula for health care providers who care for adolescents. Five primary themes emerged from participants' interviews: (1) sexuality (2) life history and contextual factors before pregnancy (3) abuse and assault (4) reactions to the pregnancy and (5) pregnancy outcomes.
Most of the remaining pregnancies resulted from consensual sex with a boyfriend or regular partner with whom the participant reported inconsistent or no contraceptive use. Half of the pregnancies resulted from sexual assault. Participants first became pregnant between ages 12 and 19 years all pregnancies were described as unintentional. The themes were contextualized using survey data and organized into a conceptual model. Interview transcripts were analyzed using immersion/crystallization and template organizing style approaches.
Interviews were conducted with 10 sexual minority cisgender women, ages 21-66 years, who experienced a teen pregnancy. Our objective was to describe teen pregnancy experiences among sexual minority women and elucidate potential risk factors.Īs a part of the SexuaL Orientation, Gender Identity, and Pregnancy Experiences (SLOPE) study, in-depth semistructured interviews and surveys were conducted.
