The purpose of this study was to identify, using a life events perspective, stressors and resources that mediate depression for adolescent mothers at the time of the birth of their child and at one year postpartum. The data for this study consisted of interviews with 157 low-income adolescent mothers age 12-18 at the birth of their child. They were selected from a large prospective study of mothers of infants and stress. Multiple regression analyses revealed two key results that were consistent for the data obtained at birth and clinical syndrome of depression were similar. Also, stressors generally were more important as mediators of depression than resource.
