Abstract: Romania ranks 2nd in the EU in the number of teenage pregnancies. Annually, globally in developing areas, approximately 21 million adolescent girls between the ages of 15 and 19 become pregnant, and about 12 million of them give birth. These data do not include the pregnancies of adolescents who have abortions (Nanu, Stativa, Valceanu, Otelea, n.a.). The main cause of mortality in females, the age group 15-19 years is represented by complications during pregnancy and childbirth (World Health Organization, 2020; Neal, Matthews, Frost, Fogstad, Camacho, & Laski, 2012). Pregnancy in adolescents was associated with double risk factors, maternal and fetal, with a much higher prevalence than in the other age groups that presented pregnancy. Romani traditions and customs influence the lives of young women. More acute than the rest of the population is the need for intervention through education programs and access to health care among Romani adolescents (Roman, Gramma, Enache, & Pârvu, 2012; Hanssens, Devisch, Lobbestael et al., 2016). The multidimensional approach, with sex and reproductive education school curricula, legal-administrative reforms to facilitate access to education and professional reproductive and sexual health services, environmentally friendly family planning programs from which young adolescents come can lead to a decrease in births. early age.
