Teenage pregnancy in Mississippi General Problem Statement Develop your general problem statement below. The issue and crisis of teenage pregnancy in Mississippi has been on the increase over the last years. The general problem is that teenage pregnancy in the United States has been on the increases, especially in Mississippi. This is a problem in Mississippi as well as the United States due to the implications that are associated with teenage
- 3. pregnancy and teenage parenting, such as impact on education as well as the economy. Specific Problem Statement Develop your specific problem statement below. The specific problem in this research paper is the teenage pregnancy prevalent in the United States and especially in Mississippi. According to statistics presented by researchers and other organizations, Mississippi has been ranked as the second state with the highest cases of teenage pregnancy in the United States. Despite the total reduction in the cases and number of teenage pregnancy in most industrialized parts of the world, Mississippi as a state has been recording and increase in the number and cases of teenage pregnancy (Kearney, M. S., & Levine, P. B. 2012). In most cases, girls aged between fifteen and nineteen, in a ratio of one out of five births have children. Rationally, this implies that Mississippi is experiencing crisis regarding teenage pregnancy. Purpose Statement Develop your purpose statement below. The purpose of this study and research paper is to identify the strategies such as policy formulation that can be used for the reduction and minimization of the increment in the prevalent cases of teenage pregnancy in the United States, and more specifically in the Mississippi. Rationale behind the carrying out of this research is the increase in the cases of teenage pregnancies in the Mississippi. Additionally, impacts and effects of teenage pregnancy such as impact on the education sector as well as the economy of the country calls in for the need to carry out this research (Garney, W., Wilson, K., Nelon,
- 4. J., Muraleetharan, D., McLeroy, K., & Baletka, D. M. 2019). Consequently, connection existing between child welfare and the system of juvenile is an important aspect that will be reviewed and analyzed by the study. As a way of addressing the issue of teenage pregnancy in Mississippi, this research paper will also involve the development of strategies and techniques for the formulation of policies by the legislators of the state on the preventive measures of teenage pregnancy. Prevalence of teen pregnancies in Mississippi clearly shows that something needs to be done, such as the previously stated techniques and strategies to be developed. As a result of teenage pregnancy, the educational attainment and achievement of these teenagers is interfered with, which makes it difficult for these teenagers to achieve their career goals, shaped by education (McDavitt, L., Black, F., Grant, M., & Ko, J. Y. 2015). Most of the research done shows that children of teenagers have higher possibilities and chances of entering children welfare or even the systems of juvenile. Lack of prior preparation by these teenagers on issues of parenting results in to most of these children being placed in foster care. Due to the increase on the cases of teenage pregnancy, physicians and counsellors need of educate the teens on the issues of contraceptives and other ways of protecting not only pregnancy cases, but also other sexually transmitted diseases (Rubin, S. E., Coy, L. N., Yu, Q., & Muncie Jr, H. L. 2016). Research Questions Develop your research question(s) below.

RQ2: What strategies and initiatives should be developed as a way of addressing the issue of teenage pregnancy in the Mississippi?
