| תיאור: | Teenage pregnancy, as a social phenomenon present in the Panamanian context, constitutes a widespread concern. However, to date, there have been few studies with clinical, epidemiological, and social focus that have contributed to a deep understanding of the issue in the country. The absence of qualitative studies that allow addressing the phenomenon from the perspectives of the teenage girls themselves is notable. This article aims to establish a theoretical and methodological framework from which to conduct an anthropological and ethnographic study on teenage pregnancy in Panama. To do so, it conducts a state-of-the-art review of the topic in Latin America, reviewing contributions from various scientific fields and methodologies, and identifying the specific contributions of qualitative techniques and anthropology. The results show that anthropology places the social construction of adolescence and femininity/motherhood, social and gender hierarchies, and the experiences and meanings of pregnant or mother teenagers at the center of the analysis. Its contributions to understanding teenage pregnancy connect contexts, relationships, and meanings that explain the occurrence and implications of this phenomenon for teenagers, suggesting an intervention aimed at preventing these pregnancies by addressing these structural and subjective factors. |
