This study explored the experience of sexually active never-pregnant Black female teens living in a poor neighborhood. Merleau-Ponty's philosophy and van Manen's method of phenomenological research were used. Seven teens were interviewed. All teens were extremely motivated to avoid a pregnancy during their teen years and six themes were revealed. This information can help nurses improve their interactions with sexually active never-pregnant female teens.
