Abstract

Teenage pregnancy amongst primary school girls in Zambia is considered to be a deviation from social norms of sex outside marriage. Moreover, school re-entry of teenage mothers is also against social norms. Therefore, a distress protocol for potential participants and the researcher is necessary to deal with psychological and emotional responses which might culminate from the sharing of experiences by the participants. The protocol also considers similar distress on the part of the researcher resulting from locating the participants and the information disclosed by participants. The research is qualitative in nature. This research is considered to be medium risk.
