Background: Adolescent pregnancy remains a public health concern affecting health, education and social life. Digital technology may expand adolescents’ access to reproductive health information; however, evidence on digital reproductive health literacy for pregnancy prevention remains limited, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Objective: To map evidence on digital reproductive health literacy, digital interventions and their implications for adolescent pregnancy prevention. Methods: This scoping review followed the Arksey and O’Malley framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Searches were conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane and Google Scholar for studies published from 2020-2025. Of the 600 records identified, 11 studies met the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using thematic synthesis. Results: Included studies were conducted in Africa, the United States and Brazil. Four themes were identified: adolescent sexual and reproductive health literacy; comprehensive sexuality education and educational interventions; digital technology for reproductive health education and access to services, policies and programs for adolescent pregnancy prevention. Two studies explicitly reported digital platforms: smartphone-based digital flashcards and web-based sexual health education. These approaches showed potential to improve access to and understanding reproductive health information, although the evidence remains limited. Conclusion: Digital reproductive health literacy may support adolescent pregnancy prevention as part of an integrated approach involving education, family, health services and policy. Further research should develop standardized measures and evaluate long-term behavioural and pregnancy-related outcomes, particularly in LMICs and resource-constrained settings.
