ABSTRACT:

Background

Adolescent pregnancy is associated with multifaceted challenges that impact countries' health, education and economic stability. Despite ongoing interventions, in developing countries such as Kenya, adolescent pregnancy rates continue to be high. There is a need for more synthesised evidence on regional-specific risk factors to support tailored prevention strategies.

Objective

This scoping review aims to explore what is known about the risk factors and intervention strategies focused on adolescent pregnancy prevention in Kenya.

Methods and analysis

Using the Arksey and O'Malley framework combined with a three-step search strategy as recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute, relevant articles will be identified from the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINA
