When an adolescent becomes pregnant against her will, she is almost always unprepared for the obligations of parenthood. On the other hand, teenagers still have much maturing to do. So, having a kid might be a daunting prospect for both teens and their parents. Socioeconomic variables, such as low income and a lack of education, enhance the likelihood of an adolescent becoming pregnant (Curry et al., 2017). Adolescent pregnancy increases the risk of maternal problems throughout pregnancy and delivery for both the mother and baby. Among the dangers of adolescent pregnancy include premature birth, fetal growth restriction, and the death of the newborn. Children born to young mothers have higher chances of dropping out of school, having health issues, being incarcerated, being unemployed, and becoming pregnant at a younger age.

Even though New Jersey’s adolescent birth rate and teen pregnancy rate both rank 18th out of 50 states, the state ranks 5th out of 50 in terms of a drop in the teen birth rate, meaning that the decline is occurring more slowly than in the other states (Sámano et al., 2017). The lowest number is one, and the most significant number is 50. NJ PREP is an educational and society-integrated sexual health training program that encompasses chastity, contraception, women’s health, and sexual and reproductive education (Sámano et al., 2017). For young people aged 10 to 19, PREP replicates evidence-based and medically correct programs that have been shown to reduce reoffending, such as unprotected sex, or encourage alternative forms of safer sex.
