Abstract: Introduction - Adolescent pregnancy constitutes a challenge for public health and reflects social inequalities. In Brazil, the World Health Organization defines adolescents as individuals aged between 10 and 19 years. In this context, the present study focuses on the municipality of Senhor do Bonfim, Bahia, covering the period from 2015 to 2024. Objective - To analyze the profile of adolescent pregnancy among individuals aged 10 to 19 years in the municipality of Senhor do Bonfim, Bahia, using data from the Live Birth Information System (SINASC). Materials and Methods - This is an observational, retrospective, and descriptive study based on secondary data from SINASC, obtained through the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS) and the Bahia State Health Department. All adolescent mothers residing in Senhor do Bonfim with live births between 2015 and 2024 were included. The analyzed variables comprised maternal age group, educational level, number of prenatal care visits, and type of delivery. Results - A total of 1,958 births to adolescent mothers were recorded, with a predominance of the 15 to 19 age group (94.6%). A reduction of 43.8% in the total number of births was observed over the decade, along with a marked decline in the 10 to 14 age group (73.3%). Maternal educational level was predominantly low; however, 73% attended seven or more prenatal care visits. Conclusion - The findings highlight the need to strengthen actions aimed at health promotion and access to education.
