An explanatory-observational case-control type-study was performed on female adolescents aged 10-19 years from "Wilfredo Pérez Pérez Teaching Polyclinics in the year 2000. They were divided into two groups: the study group comprising 53 pregnant patients and the control group including 106 adolescents who were not pregnant. Several aspects related to sexuality, family environment and also socio-demographic questions were compared to determine the impact of some psychosocial aspects of pregnancy in adolescence.
