These were assessed through the dimensions of information, figurative or image dimension, symbolic dimension, and affective dimension proposed by Moscovici. Furthermore, sub-areas such as socio-familial, emotional, and educational aspects were also evaluated. In this regard, the findings obtained revealed that pregnancy represents a situation of high responsibility for both the teenagers and their families
