Abstract：
Background: Adolescent pregnancies continue to be a global issue that affects more high-income, middle-income, and then low-income countries, with the latter experiencing the majority of cases. Aim: The current study looked into the prevalence and variables predicting adolescent childbearing in Ghana. Methodology: Data from the Ghana Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2017-2018 was used to conduct an analytical cross-sectional study. The results were examined with SPSS Version 20 (IBM Corp., 2011, and NY). Pearson\'s chi-square and binary logistics analyses were done for associations. A p value of 0.05 was used to determine the analysis\'s statistical significance. Results: The total number of adolescents isolated from the 2017 Ghana MICS dataset for this study analysis was 2974. The mean age of the study participants was 16.9 ± 1.4 years with a modal age of 15 years. The prevalence of adolescent childbearing according to this study analysis was 12.3%. The predictive factors for adolescent childbearing were increasing age, decreasing educational level, Volta regional originality, ethnic originality of the study participants, and low economic status. Conclusion: The prevalence of adolescent childbearing in this study was significant and needs the attention of all. Programs to improve adolescent reproductive health must take into account multiple levels of elements, such as the individual, family, community, institutions, national, and international challenges that have an impact on such programs.
