Further efforts are needed to approach this development. Access to designated advisory boards or family planning services, to birth control and information adequate for sexually active adolescents, has to be facilitated. In order to reduce the rate of pregnancies among minors this access should be granted even at an age, jurisdiction does not yet intend to receive any kind of confidential contraceptive and counseling services.Even though there are discrepant data to be found in literature, there is no difference concerning the course of the pregnancy, complications in gravidity or birth, as well as the child's outcome between adolescents and older mothers-to-be.
