Abstract
A retrospective study was undertaken to determine if differences existed in obstetric outcome, contraceptive usage, and repeat pregnancy rates of teenage patients cared for in three different health care settings. The sites included the Rochester Adolescent Maternity Project (RAMP), a traditional obstetric clinic, and a neighborhood health center. Comparison of the three groups revealed that RAMP patients experienced a lower incidence of anemia and preeclampsia than patients in the other programs. At one year postpartum, 25% of the hospital clinic patients were using contraception compared to 45% for the health center and 49% for RAMP patients, compared to 15.8% for the health center and 6.5% for the RAMP group.Entities:
