Introduction: Teen Pregnancy in Hawaii As a state, rates slightly higher than U.S. average Major racial and ethnic disparities Native Hawaiian youth at high risk Compared to national rates, pregnancy rate is nearly 5 times higher (114 vs. 22.3/1,000 15-19 year olds) (Hawaii Health Data Warehouse, 2016; Hamilton et al., 2016) Compared to African American and Latino youth nationwide, 3 times higher (Hawaii Health Data Warehouse, 2016; Hamilton et al., 2016) Interdisciplinary team began to discuss and explore #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22

Research Questions What are the predictors of birth timing (teenage versus older birth) among Native Hawaiian women in Hawai‘i? What are youth perspectives of the sociocultural context of teen pregnancy in Native Hawaiian communities? #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22

Department of Behavioral and Community Health Method

Method: Sequential Mixed-Method Design Sequential mixed-method study (quant -> qual) Phase One: Quantitative Analysis Phase Two: Grounded Theory Qualitative Data Collection and Analysis Phase Three: Integration of Findings #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22

Method: Sequential Mixed-Method Design Phase One: Quantitative Analysis Secondary data analysis N=1,493 Native Hawaiian women Pregnancy Risk And Monitoring Survey (PRAMS) Prenatal and postpartum care, substance use, mental health, adjunct service use, demographics Stratified random sample of 200 women monthly 2009-2011 version #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22

Method: Quantitative Phase Sample Of the N=1493 Native Hawaiian women (unweighted percentages): n=516 (35%) live on O‘ahu n=981 (69%) have a family income over $10,000 N=171 (12%) are teenage mothers #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22

Method: Quantitative Phase Variables Household income Intimate partner violence (IPV) prior to & during pregnancy Use of WIC during pregnancy Pre-pregnancy emotional stress (composite variable: if anyone in their household was ill and hospitalized or if someone close died) Desire to become pregnant Actively trying to get pregnant Contraception use Previous birth Pre-pregnancy traumatic stress (composite variable: homeless, involved in a physical fight, partner or self went to jail, or someone very close had a problem with drinking or drugs) #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22

Method: Quantitative Phase Analysis Descriptive analysis to examine frequencies and correlates Logistic regression to examine predictors of birth timing after adjusting for income greater than $10,000 PRAMS is stratified by island and gestational age Survey weights account for the complex survey design #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22

Method: Qualitative Phase Key Informant Interviews Individual in-depth, semi-structured interviews Interview guide based on quantitative phase findings Family and community structure, relationship with parents and caregivers, recommendations for teen pregnancy prevention, circumstances of pregnancy and experiences of parenthood (if pregnant in past) Pseudonyms used throughout N=10 male and female Native Hawaiian teens (18-19 years) Majority female (n=7) Over half had/partner had experienced pregnancy (n=6) One third had/partner had a prior miscarriage or abortion (n=3) #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22

Method: Qualitative Phase Grounded Theory Open coded 3 randomly selected interviews Line-by-line codes of data relevant to participants’ perspectives on the sociocultural context of teenage pregnancy within their communities Developed team codebook of focus codes, used to code final 7 interviews Slightly broader, less idiosyncratic to individual participant Updated as needed to incorporate new, relevant codes Focus codes organized into themes and subthemes of participants’ perspectives Saturation of themes reached, indicating appropriate to conclude data collection and analysis #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22

Method: Integration of Findings Phase Findings were then integrated: Considered in relation to one another Used to create a final theoretical model #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22

Department of Behavioral and Community Health Results

Phase One Results: Descriptive Analyses Among teenage mothers: 15% desired to get pregnant then 10% were trying to get pregnant Among those teenage mothers who did not desire to get pregnant then, 49% were using contraception 15% had a previous birth #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22

Phase One Results: Descriptive Analyses Native Hawaiian women who gave birth as teens (19 years or younger), as compared to older mothers (20 years or older) had significantly (p<.05) Lower household incomes (65% vs. 27% under $10,000/yr) Higher use of WIC during pregnancy (78% vs. 59%) Higher levels of intimate partner violence Prior to pregnancy (14% vs. 6%) During pregnancy (9% vs. 4%) Higher levels of pre-pregnancy marijuana use (15% vs. 7%) Lower rates of pre-pregnancy binge drinking (32% vs. 54%) #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22

Phase One Results: Descriptive Analyses Native Hawaiian women who gave birth as teens (19 years or younger), as compared to older mothers (20 years or older) had significantly (p<.05) Higher levels of stress Emotional stressors (41% vs. 31%) Traumatic stressors (32% vs. 20%) #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22

Phase One Results: Logistic Regression (adjusted for very low income <$10,000) Variable Odds Ratio 95% CI P-value Wanted Pregnancy 0.25 (0.13, 0.46) 0.000 Trying to get Pregnant 0.21 (0.10, 0.45) IPV Prior to Pregnancy 1.52 (0.71, 3.25) 0.285 IPV During Pregnancy 1.69 (0.72, 3.99) 0.229 Previous Birth 0.08 (0.04, 0.16) Emotional Stressors 1.78 (1.08, 2.93) 0.025 Traumatic Stressors 1.39 (0.82, 2.33) 0.218 Marijuana Use 1.59 (0.83, 3.06) 0.162 Binge Drinking 0.41 (0.25, 0.68) 0.001 These are the results of a logistic regression examining how these predictors affect the odds of women giving birth as a teen (meaning 19 and under) or as an older mother. After adjusting for family income, some of the bivariate differences we saw earlier were accounted for. I’ll highlight a few things from this table. After adjusting for family income, we can see that women who wanted to or were trying to get pregnant had lower odds of being a teen mother. IPV prior to pregnancy and during pregnancy did not significantly predict a difference in birth timing Experiencing emotional stressors was a significant predictor of birth timing. Women who experienced 1 or more emotional stressors had 78% greater odds of experiencing a teenage birth Women who engaged in pre-pregnancy binge drinking had lower odds of having given birth as a teen #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22

Individual, Family, and Community Risks Phase Two Results: Grounded Theory Analyses Individual, Family, and Community Risks “Everybody I know has kids. That’s why I’m doing the study because every teenager nowadays got kids.” “At the time [I got pregnant] I was seventeen...I was heavy into my disease. I had a very bad alcohol problem...dropped out of high school...I wanted to be a social worker. So I was either doing really bad things or trying to do really good things; there was no in between.” #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22

Individual, Family, and Community Resilience Phase Two Results: Grounded Theory Analyses Individual, Family, and Community Resilience “I wasn’t ready for the right girl or to settle down. I was always...banging girls, but I always used protection.” “Well, my community and my family...they’re really close and a lot of the community in the [Hawaiian housing community] homestead was family.” #APHA2017 @LizAparicio22
