Abstract
An association between the failure of teenage mothers to return to school postpartum and rapid repeat pregnancy (recidivism) has been described. We report the postpartum education pursuits and contraceptive practices of 29 teenage mothers. Our data, together with the literature, suggest that with close postpartum follow-up, young mothers who are not motivated to return to school following delivery can effectively postpone pregnancy.Keywords: Adolescent Pregnancy; Adolescents; Adolescents, Female; Age Factors; Americas; Behavior; Birth Limiting; Blacks; Colorado; Delivery Of Health Care; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Developing Countries; Educational Status; Ethnic Groups; Family Planning; Family Planning Programs; Fertility; Follow-up Studies; Health; Health Services; Hispanics; Marital Status; Maternal Health Services; Maternal-child Health Services; North America; Northern America; Organization And Administration; Population; Population Characteristics; Population Dynamics; Postpartum Programs; Pregnancy; Primary Health Care; Program Effectiveness; Program Evaluation; Programs; Reproduction; Reproductive Behavior; Research Methodology; Research Report; School Enrollment; Studies; United States; Whites; Youth
