Family Health Promotion PaperFamily health promotion paperTeenage pregnancy has grown disproportionally during that last few years. According to the research conducted by center for health promotion and prevention by Texas health center at Houston, in 2010 it has shown that Texas has the fourth largest teenage pregnancy rate in United States of America. Texas currently has one million Spanish speaking or Latino teens who are at high risk for negative reproductive health, for example teen pregnancy and Sexually transmitted diseases (STD). In this paper we will discuss about the health profile of the Latino high risk family group with explanation of high teen pregnancy rates in this group, behaviors and patterns associated with this group. Family theories, analysis of family function, family assessment, literature and researches conducted in strategies of prevention teen pregnancy, 2010 objectives of teen pregnancy prevention and highlights of advance nurses role in teen pregnancy and prevention.
The Impact of Adolescent Adulthood and Other Adolescent Health Features on Youth Risk Status Young women aged 15 to 24 are more likely than the general population to have some form of negative health status for reasons (1β3), such as health status or sexual behavior. A small proportion have never had sex. In 2009, a study reported the effects of sexual behavior and pregnancy on youth risk status and fertility rates in 17 countries. A study by Kostens et al. (5) revealed a correlation between sexual behavior and youth risk status between 1999 and 2000 by comparing men who have spent the past 15 years on a program of sexual behavior program (IV) and men who have spent the past 10 years on sex program (WPP). Young women of these countries, compared to men of non-IV countries, are more likely than the general population to have an ST-like condition (Figure 2A). Sexual behavior is associated with a 1% increase in health problems among adolescents, including preterm birth, high cholesterol and a higher risk of premature infants. More detailed information on the relationship between sexual behavior and risk status can be found in this journal or the accompanying peer-reviewed research.
The Health Impact of Young Adult Teenage Women and Health and Family Stability Youth health is affected by many factors, including: education level, socioeconomic status, family size, age, marital status, family style, and other personal characteristics. Children in this group are more likely to develop depressive symptoms, increase depressive symptoms during the first trimester of life, and reduce depressive symptoms during the first 2 or 3 trimesters. The presence of social class can be a significant factor in health problems throughout their career path (6,7,8). Young women are particularly vulnerable to other types of health problems, including depression, suicidal thoughts, drug and alcohol use, and emotional and behavioral problems (11). These conditions can be prevented by appropriate family planning strategies (9,10,13). For men, family planning approaches are often ineffective. In a recent study of adolescent sex workers in a rural California community in which there were 315 teenage sex workers (total ages 15β54 with 3.5 years of education) and 2,065 youth, the results indicated that women of sexual behavior-oriented family groups were at lower risk of having a sexually transmitted disease than their peers (14). For men, abstinence-only approaches have been shown to lead to increased risk of sexual abuse, and sexual behaviors may have a greater effect on adolescent sex workers than sex workers who are never used to condoms (15, 16). The majority of adolescents and young adults, but especially those aged between ages 15 and 49, reported having sex with men at some length (17). Women and men (particularly those between ages 9 and 14), are more likely than men and menopausal women to seek oral contraceptive care and to have a relationship where they are involved in sexual encounters (18β30). According to World Health Organization (the WHO) 2005 estimates of sexual activity by age in the United States, sexual orientation can include several sexually assigned groups, including gender identity and gender expression (19, 20). Children ages 4 years up onward may or may not have sex with other children. The risk of being involved in sex has risen to an alarming level (21). The use of condoms by young women has decreased from 29% to 42% between 1980β1998 (22]. A study by Kostens et al. (8) reported that among young men at the age of 26, the most common type of condomless contact was in the form of oral anal sex (13). The use of condoms among adolescents in high school has increased from 26% in the 1980s to 67%, compared with a rate of 19% in the 1990s (Table 2D). A 2012 meta-analysis of 8,400 youth reported that 15% of adolescents were using a condom prior to initiation. Studies by Kostens et al. (8) examined condom use among students, students enrolled in college or university and university aged 15β49, including high school, in France (6,8). Researchers reported that adolescents may

Health profile on specific high risk family groupLatino teens pregnancy rates are extremely high and in 2010 it was reported by Texas health science center that 98 per 1000 Latino girls between ages of 15-19 are giving birth. Most teens are sexually experienced while in school and over 32,000 births are reported among Latino teens in this country .Currently there are 414,583 sexually experienced Latino teens in united state schools and 89,000 reports to have multiple partners.
Who are Latinos?Latinos are individuals from Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, South or Central America or other Spanish culture origin. Majority of these people live in California and Texas. They are the largest minority living in Texas. Texas at present has nine million Latinos and they comprise of 37% of the Texas population.
Specific high risk of this cultural groupThere are specific factors that influence this high risk of teenage pregnancy. For long years researches have been conducted in this field to find the influencing factors of teen pregnancy and prevention. America had teenage pregnancies earlier too. Now this matter is very urgent as there has been a rise in teenage pregnancy, STD and births outside marriage. According to Farber (2003) Special characteristics within the family structure, age at first sexual intercourse, goals or expectations in life and sexual abuse are the main factors that influence teenage pregnancies. Studies conducted by Rosen (1997) have shown that poverty has a major influence on teenage pregnancy.
Family structureGrowing number of American people live in unstable homes and family situations and most of the people in this situations become very sexually active at an earlier age .Rosen (1997) stated that this early
