Summary: Family dysfunction can act as a risk factor for teenage pregnancy. The research addresses adolescent pregnancy and the association with family dysfunction, due to the restructuring that occurs in the functions of family members, by creating new needs. Family dysfunction is considered a risk factor for adolescent behavior and in particular for the presence of adolescent pregnancy. It is intended to describe the characteristics of family functionality and establish the association between adolescent pregnancy and family dysfunction, in pregnant adolescents of the Sexual and Reproductive Health Project (CERCA) in the city of Cuenca - Ecuador in 2014 in a sample of 49 surveys of adolescents in a situation of pregnancy, and thus disseminate data on this reality, through a descriptive, retrospective, quantitative study. The CERCA Project survey, the Mirna García-Méndez Family Functioning Scale, descriptive and inferential statistics with percentage differences, P value, OR in the SPSS program were used. The women reported significant differences in: not being unsuccessful, not consuming liquor, having the same talent and freedom as men, needing information about sexuality, communication with the mother; in men: being a good person, having relationships without being in love, assuming expenses on a date, a girl can ask out, being better leaders, good communication about sexuality with the partner, friends and father, the father should have more authority and they get better results. 59.1% of men (P=0.394) and 40.9% of women (P=0.083) belonged to dysfunctional families. There was no statistical association between teenage pregnancy and family dysfunction (P=0.071). Women seek equity, need information and communication about sexuality. In men, the criterion of masculine superiority prevailed. The highest percentage of family dysfunction corresponded to men. There was no statistically significant association between teenage pregnancy and family dysfunction.
