Analysis of Teenage Pregnancy and Contraception Methods on National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) Data
Abstract
To understand the causes and consequences of the rising rates of teenage pregnancy, we utilized the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) dataset to explore various factors, including contraception methods employed across India. Employing Python programming, we conducted a cluster analysis to examine data patterns and similarities. Our investigation aimed to establish a potential causal link between adolescent pregnancy and variables such as age, educational attainment, and internet usage. The findings suggest that higher literacy levels are associated with a reduction in teenage pregnancies. Additionally, teenage pregnancies contribute to an increased risk of anemia among pregnant women aged 15-19. Over the past two decades, the prevalence of anemia among Indian women of reproductive age has been 20% higher than the global average. In India, one in every two women is anemic, exceeding the global ratio of one in every three women. Among pregnant women, the incidence of anemia varies from 33% to 89%, with adolescent girls experiencing a rate exceeding 60%.
