This study aimed to compare the age at first sexual intercourse, information about contraceptive methods, besides its use with the occurrence of adolescent pregnancy in two groups (50 pregnant and 50 nonpregnant). The questionnaire developed for the study investigated these variables. It was found that there is no significant difference between groups in age at first sexual intercourse, use of contraception at first sexual intercourse and type of contraceptive used. However, the groups differ with respect to the use of contraceptives in the subsequent sexual intercourses. The data reveals the multiplicity of factors involved in contraceptive behavior demonstrating the need for absorption of these factors on the part of public politics directed to adolescents.
