Speaking at a workshop on ways to avoid unplanned teenage pregnancy, the director of the Centre for Research and Training on Gender and Women's Health at Khon Kaen University said the research was conducted in the seven provinces with the highest teenage pregancy rate in A further Most said their sexual experiences had been with older partners.

Those who decided to have sex on the same day as meeting their partner said they just "clicked" after having a conversation for the first time.
