Abstract

Tocantins has a total population of approximately 1,383,445 inhabitants, about 10% of which are female adolescents. In this sense, attention should be focused on this class, since in recent years there has been an increase in the number of girls who become mothers during that phase. The aim of the study was to expose the numbers and suggest which factors may be related to teenage pregnancy. The data were taken from SINASC, from 2008 to 2018. It was found that of the 272983 live births, 64,623 were children of adolescent mothers. It was exposed that a gap in educational training may be related to this high rate, there was also a greater number of vaginal births as well as reduced prenatal consultations in the micro-regions with a deficient public health service, with emphasis on Jalapão. Investment in primary care is recommended, especially in the most affected micro-regions and in offering not only resources, but also special and structured care, providing better access to information and education for adolescents.
