TPKE case studies: teenage pregnancy interventions by local councils

The four case studies collated by the Teenage Pregnancy Knowledge Exchange (TPKE) at the University of Bedfordshire were issued together with a joint FSRH and TPKE press statement on the publication of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) data on conceptions for women aged under 18 in England and Wales for the year 2016. The case studies illustrate how councils have applied the evidence and lessons for effective action on teenage pregnancy. They focus on a key element of what the local authority has done and by no means represent the totality of their work on teenage pregnancy.
