  • Title: Perinatal outcomes in a school-based program for pregnant teen-agers.
    Author: Hall RT, Santos SR, Cofield F, Brown MJ, Teasley SL, Cai J.
    Journal: Mo Med; 2003; 100(2):148-52. PubMed ID: 12710167.
    Abstract:
    Teen-age pregnancy constitutes a high-risk factor for prematurity, low birth weight, intrauterine growth retardation, infant mortality, and later health, behavioral, developmental, and educational disadvantages. A case-controlled study was performed to evaluate the influence of the Teen-age Parent Center on pregnancy outcomes. Improved outcomes were identified for low-birth-weight rate, high school graduation rate, smoking during pregnancy, and prenatal care. These results indicate that a comprehensive, school-based program can enhance perinatal outcomes.
