2003 nov;57(11): of social exclusion on the risk of teenage pregnancy: development of hypotheses using baseline data from a randomised trial of sex cp1, strange vj, stephenson jm, oakley ar, copas aj, forrest sp, johnson am, black information1social science research unit, institute of education, university of london, ctstudy objective: the uk government argues that "social exclusion" increases risk of teenage pregnancy and that educational factors may be dimensions of such exclusion. This paper develops hypotheses on the relation between socioeconomic and educational dimensions of social exclusion, and risk of teenage pregnancy, by examining whether dislike of school and socioeconomic disadvantage are associated with cognitive/behavioural risk measures among 13/14 year olds in english : analysis of data from the baseline survey of a study of sex g and participants: 13/14 year old school students from south east results: the results indicate that socioeconomic disadvantage and dislike of school are associated with various risk factors, each with a different pattern.
For most associations, the crude odds ratios (ors) and the ors adjusted for the other exposure were similar, suggesting that inter-confounding between exposures was sions: it is hypothesised that in determining risk of teenage pregnancy, the two exposures are independent. Those disliking school might be at greater risk of teenage pregnancy because they are more likely to see teenage pregnancy as inevitable or : 14600112 pmcid: pmc1732333 [indexed for medline] free pmc articlesharepublication types, mesh termspublication typesclinical trialrandomized controlled trialresearch support, non-u.

To test two hypotheses that attitude to school is linked to pregnancy via pathways involving young people having "alternative" expectations or deficits in sexual health knowledge and confidence.
Examination of associations between attitude to school and protected first sex, unprotected first sex, unprotected and protected last sex, and pregnancy, both crude and adjusting in turn for expectation of parenting by age 20, lack of expectation of education/training at age 20, and sexual health knowledge and confidence. Main results: in unadjusted analysis, attitude to school was significantly associated with protected and unprotected first sex by follow up 1, protected first sex between follow up 1 and 2, unprotected last sex, and pregnancy.
Conclusions: dislike of school is associated with subsequent increased risk of teenage pregnancy but the mechanism underlying any possible causal link is unlikely to involve "alternative" expectations or deficits in sexual health knowledge or confidence.
