In well-nourished females, menarche usually takes place around the age of 12-13. (UNICEF). One in ten young Filipino women ages 15-19 has begun childbearing and 8% are pregnant with their first child according to the results of the 2013 National Demographic and Health Survey.

METHODS

Using a survey questionnaire, the researchers conducted focus groups with TVL/HE/COOKERY. Thirty-seven respondents answered a set of Likert type questionnaire. Inventory was also conducted with data collected through a quantitative analysis of the use of the innovation in the individual track.

RESULTS

Many respondents who participated in our focus groups perceived problems with the assessment innovation in the areas of: (1) Effects of teenage pregnancy in their academic performance; (2) Effects of teenage pregnancy in family relationships; (3) Effects of teenage pregnancy in terms of financially supporting the child; and (4) what would most likely happen to the teenage mother after her pregnancy.
