Limited research exists on their lived experiences, including the impact of pregnancy on education and their overall well-being. Our studies aimed to document the lived experiences of PPAs, including the impact of pregnancy on their education, health, and aspirations. \n\nWe used mixed-methods cross-sectional approaches to conduct the studies in Burkina Faso, Kenya and Malawi. Data were collected from a total of 980, 594, and 669  PPAs in Burkina Faso, Kenya, and Malawi, respectively. These data are crucial for informing policy changes and interventions to better support pregnant and parenting adolescents. The data can also help shed  light on the challenges faced by PPAs and the potential ways to improve their well-being and opportunities.\n\nData from these studies can be used by various stakeholders, including government ministries, researchers, advocacy groups, and communities.","nation":[{"name":"Kenya","abbreviation":"KEN"},{"name":"Malawi","abbreviation":"MWI"},{"name":"Burkina Faso","abbreviation":"BFA"}],"geog_coverage":"Regional coverage i.e., West, East, and Southern Africa","analysis_unit":"Individual","universe":"Adolescents aged 10 to 19 years resident in Burkina Faso, Kenya and Malawi","notes":"The scope of the \"PPA study\" includes:\n\nINDIVIDUAL: Background characteristics, family characteristics, social capital and networks, self-reported health, marriage and sexual behavior, reproductive health knowledge and contraception, pregnancy and births, childcare,  reactions to pregnancy,  HIV\/AIDS and other STIs, GBV\/Domestic Violence and other forms of abuse, alcohol and substance abuse, satisfaction with care, concerns, aspirations, and expectations or perceived life chances, disability, and COVID-19.","study_scope":"The scope of the \"PPA study\" includes:\n\nINDIVIDUAL: Background characteristics, family characteristics, social capital and networks, self-reported health, marriage and sexual behavior, reproductive health knowledge and contraception, pregnancy and births, childcare,  reactions to pregnancy,  HIV\/AIDS and other STIs, GBV\/Domestic Violence and other forms of abuse, alcohol and substance abuse, satisfaction with care, concerns, aspirations, and expectations or perceived life chances, disability, and COVID-19."},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"Quantitative Survey\nIn Kenya, we estimated that a sample size of 500 pregnant and parenting adolescent girls was needed to answer the study objectives. Participants were selected consecutively following a household listing to identify households with PPAs in all Korogocho villages. Pregnant and parenting adolescents in each household and in all nine Korogocho villages were recruited consecutively until a sample size of 594 was reached.  \n\nIn Malawi and Burkina Faso, we estimated a sample size of 1190 and 1077 pregnant and parenting adolescents was required, respectively.  We used a two-stage cluster random sampling to select study participants. In the first stage, we randomly selected 60 self-weighted implicitly stratified clusters (PSU) or Enumeration Areas (EAs) from the Primary Sampling Frame (PSF) developed by Malawi National Statistical Office and Burkina Faso National Statistical Office. In the second stage, we conducted a household listing in the selected rural and urban clusters and census blocks and randomly selected households using a systematic random sampling procedure to draw 20 households per cluster. One adolescent was selected in each household sampled using the Kish grid to be interviewed. The Kish grid procedure used a pre-assigned table of random numbers to find the person to be interviewed in a household where there is more than one eligible respondent. We arrived at a sample size of 669 and 980 PPAs in Malawi and Burkina Faso, respectively.\n\n\nQualitative Interviews\nAcross the 3 countries (Burkina Faso, Kenya and Malawi) purposive sampling approach was employed in respondents for the in-depth (IDIs) and key informant interviews (KIIs). We conducted IDIs with pregnant and parenting adolescents, adolescent fathers, parents\/guardians, while KIIs were conducted with teachers, health providers, community\/religious leaders, policymakers and civil society organizations. The pregnant and parenting adolescent girls who took part in the IDIs were excluded from the survey. In Kenya, parenting adolescent boys were identified through a local non-governmental organization based in Korogocho that implements interventions targeting young people. Overall, we conducted 49, 44, 42 IDIs and 35, 13, 20 KIIs in Burkina Faso, Malawi, Kenya, respectively. The interviews were sufficient to generate rich data on the perspectives of the community on issues affecting pregnanat and parenting adolescents as well as possible ways of addressing them. The breakdown of the qualitative interview respondents across the 3 countries is presented below: \n\nBurkina Faso (84): IDIs with 24 pregnant and parenting adolescent girls (10 - 19 years), 8 parenting boys (10 - 19 years) and 17 parents\/guardians\n                               KIIs with 18 teachers\/principals\/directors\/district managers\/PTA association representatives, 3 policymakers, and 14 religious\/community leaders\nKenya (62): IDIs with 22 pregnant and parenting adolescent girls (10 - 19 years), 10 parenting boys (10 - 19 years) and 10 parents\/guardians\n                    KIIs with 4 teachers\/principals\/directors\/district managers\/PTA association representatives, 3 policymakers, 7 religious\/community leaders, 2 NGO\/CBO repsentatives and 4 health                    workers   \nMalawi (57):  IDIs with 18 pregnant and parenting adolescent girls (10 - 19 years), 10 parenting boys (10 - 19 years) and 16 parents\/guardians\n                      KIIs with 4 teachers\/principals\/directors\/district managers\/PTA association representatives, 3 policymakers, and 6 NGO\/CBO representatives","coll_mode":"Computer Assisted Personal Interview [CAPI]","research_instrument":"The questionnaire for the studies was adapted from the Global Early Adolescent Study (GEAS) toolkit, John Cleland's illustrative questionnaire for interview surveys with young people, the Adolescent Girls Initiative-Kenya survey, the Transitions to Adulthood questionnaire, and the Protecting the Next Generation questionnaire.

It collected information on Background characteristics, family characteristics, social capital and networks, self-reported health, marriage and sexual behavior, reproductive health knowledge and contraception, pregnancy and births, childcare,  reactions to pregnancy,  HIV\/AIDS and other STIs, GBV\/Domestic Violence and other forms of abuse, alcohol and substance abuse, satisfaction with care, concerns, aspirations, and expectations or perceived life chances, disability, and an additional COVID-19 section for surveys in Burkina Faso and Malawi.\nThe questionnaires were developed in English for Kenya and Malawi.
