The rates are on the decline worldwide. But adolescent pregnancies still occur, placing millions of girls each year at risk for medical complications and social isolation, and their babies for severe health problems--especially when prenatal care is inadequate or nonexistent. But as the opportunity for young women and girls increases around the world, adolescent pregnancy will continue to decline. Featuring reports from countries across the developed and developing worlds, the International Handbook of Adolescent Pregnancy analyzes the scope of the problem and the diversity of social and professional responses. Its biological/ecological perspective identifies factors influencing childhood pregnancy, as well as outcomes, challenges, and needs of very young mothers as they differ across nations and regions. Salient comparisons are made as cultural contexts and community support vary widely, and attention is paid to issues such as child marriage, LGBT concerns, and the impact of religion and politics on health care, particularly access to contraception, abortion, and other services. This global coverage heightens the understanding of readers involved in care, education, and prevention programs, and otherwise concerned with the psychosocial development, reproductive health, and general well-being of girls. Included in the Handbook: Biological influences of adolescent pregnancy. Adolescent maternal health and childbearing. Adolescent pregnancy and mental health. International perspectives on adolescent fathers. Adolescent pregnancy as a feminist issue. Adolescent pregnancy as a social problem. Plus viewpoints from more than thirty countries. As a unique source of up-to-date findings and clear-headed analysis, the International Handbook of Adolescent Pregnancy is a go-to reference for practitioners and researchers in maternal and child health, pediatrics, adolescent medicine, and global health.

This edited volume is concerned with the evolution and achievements of cooperation in research and innovation between Africa and Europe, and points to the need for more diversified funding and finance mechanisms, and for novel models of collaboration to attract new actors and innovative ideas. It reflects on the political, economic, diplomatic and scientific rationale for cooperation, while also examining practical developments, illustrated with examples, in the fields of food security, health, and climate change. The need to mobilise scientific knowledge and to ensure equality and fairness in the cooperation are recurrent themes. Africa-Europe Cooperation in Research and Innovation is essential reading for policy makers and researchers in international relations and science diplomacy.

Les relations scientifiques et technologiques entre l'Afrique et l'Europe ont une histoire longue, dynamique et parfois en dents de scie, qui traduit une certaine complexité en termes d'intérêts et de stratégies aux niveaux national, régional et international. Ce livre traite de la coopération dans le domaine de la recherche appliquée, en quête de solutions face aux défis sociétaux communs. Ainsi aborde-t-il quatre défis majeurs. Premièrement, fournir un aperçu compréhensible du paysage mondial des politiques de recherche et d'innovation dans lequel le partenariat stratégique Afrique-Europe fonctionne actuellement. Deuxièmement, procéder à une analyse critique des divers réseaux et organisations qui soutiennent, permettent et renforcent la coopération bi-régionale en matière de sciences, technologies et innovation [STI]. Troisièmement, éclairer les résultats et l'impact de certaines initiatives réelles des entreprises opérant dans le domaine de la STI. Quatrièmement, présenter une série de leçons claires susceptibles d'appuyer les futurs efforts de coopération entre l'Afrique et l'Europe en matière de STI.
