However, these interventions tend to ignore gender inequities, inequality gaps, poverty, marginalization, social deprivation and lack of respect for human rights, although changing these circumstances could favor the prevention of this phenomenon more directly. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between adolescent fertility and the conditions of the social and economic structure in the state of Tamaulipas through a regionalization with the REDCAP (meaning, Regionalization with Dynamically Constrained Agglomerative Clustering and Partitioning) algorithms procedure done at the municipal level, to identify the risk of adolescent pregnancy. The findings revealed significant differences in vulnerability levels by region based on socioeconomic and fertility variables. This undoubtedly shows the need to address the phenomenon of adolescent pregnancy with differentiated approaches as well. El embarazo adolescente es un problema social y de salud pública cuya atención comúnmente se ha centrado en el fomento y la educación sexual y reproductiva de las y los jóvenes. Sin embargo, estas intervenciones suelen dejar de lado los esfuerzos por reducir las inequidades de género, las brechas de desigualdad, pobreza, marginación, carencias sociales y respeto a los derechos humanos que podrían favorecer más directamente a la prevención de este fenómeno. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la relación entre la fecundidad adolescente y las condiciones de la estructura social y económica en el estado de Tamaulipas, mediante un procedimiento de regionalización con el algoritmo REDCAP (Regionalization with Dynamically Constrained Agglomerative Clustering and Partitioning, por sus siglas en inglés), a nivel municipal, para así identificar el nivel de riesgo de embarazo adolescente. Los resultados revelaron diferencias significativas de vulnerabilidad por región en función de las variables socioeconómicas y de fecundidad. Esto sin duda muestra la necesidad de atender el fenómeno del embarazo adolescente igualmente de forma diferenciada.
