Health and Social Care Teenage Pregnancy

Question: Explain about the study for Health and Social Care for teenage pregnancy? Answer: Introduction This study deals with teenage pregnancy rates falling in UK and increasing in South Africa. This research proposal aims at examining the lived experiences of African-American young women participation in teen pregnancy prevention programs (Aveyard 2010). It helps in obtaining the outcome data for prevention of related pregnancies. It can reduce with proper sex education at schools and colleges as well as employment for the same. Research Questions What are the factors affecting increased pregnancy rates in South America? How did teenage prevention program helps in reducing the early pregnancy rates? Literature Review It is noticed that teenage pregnancy rates are falling in UK as well as increasing in South Africa. It is because of adolescent pregnancy caused from early sexual interaction. It mainly causes serious problems in South Africa (Britain 2012). Emphasis on educational system will decrease the teen pregnancy rates. South Africa facing high teenage pregnancy due to lack of programs conducted on parenting programs. This program discusses the drawbacks of teenage pregnancy rates in the near future. It mainly focuses on the teenage pregnancy among African-American young women for the same (Burgess, Shaw and Kellas 2011) It is noticed that teenagers are plagued with problems and prone to negative behaviours like drug addiction, depression as well as related anti-social behaviour. Teenage pregnancy is caused from lack of adequate education on right as well as wrong birth control methods. It mainly lacks from emotional fulfilment at home. They face contraceptive failure or human failure for the same. It mainly gives rise to cultural values and supports early pregnancy (Glasby 2012). It is important to understand the fact that communication skills and relationship education helps in reducing the teenage pregnancy in an overall manner. Pregnant teenage girls have low self-morale in family as well as social dimensions for the same. Theory This particular research proposal on teenage pregnancy aims at lowering the unhealthy sexual practices among the teenage girls. Several theories are designed for promoting safer premarital behaviour amongst the younger girls for the same (Gray 2012). It is important for understanding the origin and control over the inappropriate sexual behaviour for derivations of social science research in an overall manner. Theoretical basis helps in combining social psychological cognitive models on behalf of social interpretations from researcher point of view. It includes the social influences on related sexual behaviours for translating individual perceptions as well as beliefs (Haugen and Musser 2012). It helps the educators for development of theoretical understanding over social interaction among the teenage girls in the most appropriate way. Method The research will mainly focus in the issues of falling teenage pregnancy in the United Kingdom and the rising rate of teenage pregnancy in South Africa. Hence, for the present research, the researcher will take into consideration secondary research to reach the desired outcome (Zikmund et al. 2012). The online sources and the previous research works that have been done on the rising and the falling rate of teenage pregnancy in South Africa and the united kingdom respectively will be taken onto consideration. In addition to this, the books that have been written on this topic will be taken into consideration. Conditions for secondary research Method As the researcher is taking into account the secondary research for the present research work, hence a mixed method of data collections will be taken into account by the researcher for the current research (Neuman and Robson 2012). Thus, the researcher will take into consideration the qualitative data collection as well as the quantitative data collection (Richards and Morse 2012). The researcher will evaluate the data and figures that have been presented in the past research works. In addition to this, perspectives of various people that have been presented in the previous research works can also be included in the present research. Definition of secondary library-based research The secondary library-based research is defined as the research that is done by consulting the previous files and research works that have been done on the present research topic (Bhattacherjee 2012). Many online libraries give free access to the documents for the users, while there are certain libraries where the users need to pay the documents to view the previous research works. Access to the information The data for the secondary research will be accessed from online libraries as well as from different research websites where other authors might have done the research in the similar topic. Databases The university databases the online libraries will be helpful for the research. At times, there are various websites which mainly publishes research works that have been done by other authors (Richards and Morse 2012). It is expected that those databases will be helpful to reach the expected outcome of the research work. Search terms To search for the required papers, th researcher kght take into account the following research terms Teenage pregnancy Teenage pregnancy in the United Kingdom Teenage pregnancy in South Africa Reasons behind the falling rate of teenage pregnancy in the United Kingdom Reasons behind the rising rate of teenage pregnancy in South Africa Inclusion/exclusion criteria The researcher had to exclude the research papers available in the online libraries that will ask the researcher to pay for the access of the papers (Bryman 2015). However, if the access fee is less, then the researcher might pay for the service and look into the papers. The research will mainly include the data and the findings that have can be retrieved from the previous research works. In addition to this, if the researcher gets access to the interviews or the talk shows where any doctor or any eminent personality has spoken on this topic, the researcher can also include those materials in the researcher work. The materials will be useful for the research work, as the researcher will get to know the exact version of the people who present their views regarding the topics (Majchrzak and Markus 2013). Moreover, talk shows could be helpful, as they will also have the data regarding the rising and the falling rate of teenage pregnancy in South African and the United Kingdom respective ly. Application of the filters The researcher will filter the research in the basis of date and language. Geography will also be taken into account as far as the filtration is concerned, yet the geographical consideration will be secondary for the research (Gray 2013). The recent research works will have the latest data and figures that the researchers have used. The researcher in the present research can include any changes in the data and figures. The researcher will mainly use the research works that have been presented in the English langue. Most of the research works have been presented in the English language. if the researcher chooses a research paper that have been resented in some other languages then it will be difficult for the researcher to get the meaning and using the online translators will not be helpful for the research work (O'Leary 2013). Though it is important for the researcher to take into consideration the paper that have been either presented in United Kingdom or in South Africa, yet there can be researcher who have carried out the research based on these two countries but published in another country. Hence, filtering the research based on geography might be helpful. However, the researcher should keep the options open for the research works that are based in some other countries (Majchrzak and Markus 2013). Documents The researcher will take into account the books that have been written on the teenage pregnancy. The previous research works will be the most important materials to carry put the research work. Critical appraisal of the research studies The research will mainly take into account the previous research works. The research will present the exact data and figures that have been present in the research works. However, there will be future scope for the researcher who wants to carry out the research on the similar topics (Faden et al. 2013). The researcher is taking into account the reason behind the rising and falling rate of the teenage pregnancy in South Africa and the United Kingdom respectively. In future, the researchers can carry out similar research based on some other countries (Ritchie et al. 2013). Moreover, will take into account particular location and compare the rate of teenage pregnancy with other locations. Presentation of the findings The finding will be evaluated by the researcher depending on the date of publish of the documents. The research will take into account the findings from the secondary sources and present the finding in the form of pie charts or graphs. The presentation in the form of pie chart and the graph will help the researcher as well as the audience to compare the results and get a concrete idea about the pregnancy rate in the mentioned countries. Ethical issues in secondary Research Every research work should be carried out ethically and so that no issues are being raised on the research or the researcher wok. For the present research as well, the researcher should retrieve the data from the online sites (Neuman and Robson 2012). Various online sites will ask for payment of the researcher. The researcher should not use any unethical method like hacking the website to retrieve the data. Moreover, various data and figures have been presented in the research. The researcher should not any false data it the research, which is not available in any of the previous research works. The research will not use the data for any unethical purposes and will use proper referencing while presenting the data in the research. Plagiarism is an offence and hence, the researcher will not indulge in plagiarism for the present research (Majchrzak and Markus 2013). Timetable Main Activities 1st Month 2nd Month 3rd Month 4th Month 5th Month 6th Month Selection of Topic Literature Review Theoretical Framework Research Methodology Secondary Data collection Dissemination Conclusion Submission of project Explanation From the above timetable, it is easy to gather the relevant information on the construction of the research proposal. In the first month, complete research on selection of viable topic on health and social care (Moss and Moss 2012). After the topic section, second month went on for elaborating on the major issues pertaining to teenage pregnancy in United Kingdom as well as South Africa for the same. In the third week, secondary research was collected from academic journals, books and websites for the same. Addition to that, research proposal found certain limitations in the fifth week of collection data. In the last month, research proposal was ready for submission (White and Chanoff 2011). Dissemination This research proposal on teenage pregnancy helps individuals understand the future aspect of the serious problems for the same (Nzira and Williams, 2012). It affects the life of teenage groups due to sexual interaction in an overall manner. Variations in teenage pregnancy rates show high correlation with deprivation level in United Kingdom and South Africa. It mainly targets the teenagers ascertaining risk from high rate neighbourhoods for the same (O'Connor, 2012). Risk factors for teenage pregnancy help in recognising as well as providing compelling ways for targeted action on young people in the near future. Conclusion From the above study, it is easy to understand the fact on teenage pregnancy. It is recommended that young women should participate in the teenage prevention program for evaluation of the effectiveness of programs for the same. Teenage pregnancy is one of the complex issues affected by personal, economic as well as social and environmental factors in an overall manner.
