Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Teenage pregnancy remains a pressing social issue in Lafia Local Government Area (LGA), Nasarawa State, with significant implications for the health, education, and socio-economic prospects of affected adolescents.

This study explores the effectiveness of PR strategies in addressing teenage pregnancy in Lafia LGA.
