Briley, Margaret E. | Taylor, Elizabeth | Collins, Linda
A study of 24 pregnant and non-pregnant adolescents was conducted as the first phase of a five-year longitudinal study, in order to obtain baseline data. Socioeconomic, demographic and educational findings on this group included age, age of first menses, home environment, parents' occupation and education, number of children living at home, grade level, and whether employed; adolescent mothers were asked their plans regarding their infants. Of the pregnant adolescents, 38% were Mexican-Americans, 35% had a gynecologic age of 3 or less; 38% live at home with both parents, 67% had 4 or more siblings; 59% were behind 2 years in school; and 4% were working part-time. All subjects planned to keep their babies and 63% planned to leave their infants in the school nursery while finishing their education. Data on non-pregnant adolescents were to be available in the next phase of the study.
