Abstract
In Kenya, the reduction of the rate of teenage pregnancies remain the key concern since the advancement of a national Adolescent Sexual Reproductive Health Policy in the year 2015. However, up to date, the rate of teenage pregnancy still remain at an alarming rate. This study employed a qualitative approach to explore the experiences of female students on the use of contraceptives in addressing teenage pregnancies in secondary school. A multi-case study design was used where data was collected through focus group discussion, and drawings and analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that female students face major challenges such as unfriendly medical practitioners who make teenagers shy away, and some have negative opinions on the side effects of using contraceptives. The study concludes that female students have been assisted in addressing teenage pregnancies through the use of contraceptives however, societal norms and misconceptions are a barrier to addressing teenage pregnancies.
