A rethink is needed on how we provide contraception to teenagers in this country, according to University of Otago researchers.
New Zealand's adolescent pregnancy rate is second only to the United States in the developed world.
More than 93 percent of adolescent pregancies here are unintended, and only 52 percent of sexually active adolescents use contraception consistently.
Dr Rebecca Duncan's paper has just been published in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. She talks to Jesse about her findings.
