Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of self-reported pregnancy among sexually active high school students in New Zealand, finding that 10.6% reported being pregnant or causing a pregnancy.
- There are notable ethnic disparities, with Māori (15.3%) and Pacific Island (14.1%) students reporting the highest rates.
- The research indicates that students who reported pregnancies faced greater barriers to accessing health care, primarily due to concerns about privacy, uncertainty about how to seek care, and transportation issues.
