Adolescents' experience of mistreatment and abuse during childbirth: a cross-sectional community survey in a low-income informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya.

Mistreatment and abuse of adolescent girls during childbirth are common in the study setting and are associated with lower levels of satisfaction with care, intention to use the facility for future births, or recommend it to others. Preservice and in-service training of health workers in the study setting should address the need for respectful care for adolescents.
