Background of the Study
Teenage pregnancy is a significant social issue affecting many parts of Nigeria, including Ganye LGA, Adamawa State. It has profound implications for the health, education, and economic opportunities of young girls. In recent years, there has been a surge in campaigns aimed at reducing teenage pregnancies through various educational and awareness programs. Advertising, particularly through mass media channels, has been identified as a potential tool for disseminating information about reproductive health, sexual education, and the consequences of teenage pregnancy. By influencing attitudes and behaviors, advertising campaigns can play a pivotal role in preventing teenage pregnancies. This study will explore the effectiveness of advertising in raising awareness and reducing the rates of teenage pregnancy in Ganye LGA, Adamawa State.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Teenage pregnancy remains a major challenge in Ganye LGA, with many young girls lacking access to proper sexual health education. Despite efforts to address this issue, teenage pregnancy rates remain high, suggesting that current interventions may not be sufficiently effective. Advertising campaigns targeting teenagers and their families can raise awareness and provide vital information to help reduce the incidence of teenage pregnancy. However, there is limited research on the effectiveness of such campaigns in Ganye LGA. This study aims to assess how advertising can contribute to preventing teenage pregnancies in the region, identify the barriers to effective communication, and evaluate the impact of these campaigns.
