Quality of reproductive health services for adolescent girls (aged 13–19 years) by region

Data taken from the latest Demographic and Health Survey conducted in 58 countries between 2010 and 2018.¹² Country-level estimates are weighted using individual survey weights and regional averages are weighted according to each country's weighted sample size. Countries, survey years, and regional classification are available in the appendix (pp 4–10). *Proportion of adolescent girls who were informed about potential side-effects when first prescribed the modern contraceptive method they were using. In each country in eastern Europe and central Asia, the surveys included fewer than 25 adolescent girls who obtained a modern contraceptive method; therefore, that region was not included. †Proportion of adolescent girls who had their blood pressure checked, and urine and blood taken at any point during pregnancy. ‡Proportion of adolescent girls who gave birth in a hospital according to the facility categories used in the Demographic and Health Survey. §Proportion of adolescent girls who had any health checkup by a health provider (ie, by asking questions or examining them) after giving birth in any facility before discharge.
