PhD Scholarship to Study Teenage Men and Unintended Pregnancy

A PhD scholarship is now available at Queen’s University Belfast's School of Nursing to study teenage men and unintended pregnancy.  Teenage pregnancy rates in the USA and the UK remain the highest in the developed world, and the reduction of unintended pregnancy is resolutely on the international policy agenda.  Within this policy drive to reduce unintended pregnancies, global organisations - such as the World Health Organisation - recognise that young men’s involvement in decisions in relation to preventing and dealing with unintended pregnancies has been neglected in the research literature and is rarely considered in clinical practice.  We know very little about how young men experience and participate in decision-making in relation to an unintended pregnancy from their own perspectives.  Full details of this PhD scholarship can be found at: www.qub.ac.uk/schools/SchoolofNursingandMidwifery/Research/PostgraduateResearch/ProspectiveStudents   The closing date for applications is Monday 16th February 2015.
