Summary:The research tries to reveal what causes the outstanding adolescent frequency of pregnancy rates in a slum of gypsies. The interviewees were teenager gypsy girls between the age of 14 and 19.

The study underlines the importance of social exclusion by the major society targeting the community of roma ethnicity.
