Early union, 'disgrasya', and prior adversity and disadvantage: pathways to adolescent pregnancy among Filipino youth.

Our findings highlight the need to (1) address underlying poverty and structural inequalities that limit Filipino young people's life choices and contribute to their pathways to adolescent pregnancy; (2) provide Filipino young people with access to essential sexual and reproductive health information, services, and supplies; and (3) change social norms to rectify gender-based power imbalances and sexual violence.
