A qualitative, descriptive, contextual study design was used to describe the role of
antenatal services in supporting teenage pregnant girls in Leribe district of Lesotho.
The study population consisted of all teenage pregnant girls between 13-19 years of
age. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used to identify potential
participants. Data was collected by means of tape-recorded in-depth individual, semistructured
interviews and analysed using Tesch’s descriptive method of qualitative data
analysis (Creswell 2009:186).
The findings of this study revealed that teenage pregnant girls require comprehensive
antenatal services that are sensitive to the needs related to their age. Strategies in
which antenatal services can be strengthened to support teenage pregnant girls better
were described / Health Studies / M.A. (Public Health)
