Teen Pregnancy & Baby Abandonment

In 2012, the Malaysian Government was very concern with increasing abandonment of babies (many of whom did not survive) and teen pregnancies.
Dr Brendan was commissioned as the Lead Research Consultant by University of Nottingham to develop measures to help the government evaluate the risk and protective factors contributing to this.
Using behavioral design thinking, Dr Brendan created the research framework and logic model, and was successful in developing a quantitative measure that was administered to youth across the country.
Following this, Dr Brendan worked on analyzing the large dataset, and produced a report that presented applied and constructive data to the government, and recommendations for what could work in addressing youth unprepared for sex, pregnancy, and children that create situations where babies are abandoned.
