Abstract
The Integrated round table intervention method in teenage pregnancy awareness within uMzinyathi district in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Province.
THEME 3: Strategies toward the normative development of society
SUB 3.4 Multisector responses to young people and teenage pregnancy
Oral Presentation
Teenage pregnancy is a major public health and social concern in South Africa, particularly in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Province. This conceptual paper aims to study the effectiveness of the integrated round table intervention method in raising awareness about teenage pregnancy and promoting safe sexual practices among adolescents. A statistical analysis method was used, quarterly reports from the Department of Social Development on the round table intervention for three local municipalities under the uMzinyathi District Municipality were utilized. The analysis showed that there has been a slight decrease in teenage pregnancy statistics mainly due to implementation of the round table approach, this approach includes children, parents and stakeholders where dialogues are held with both children and parents, the issues raised are then attended to by relevant departments. It is recommended that Local Municipalities strengthen the implementation of the round table intervention.
