Abstract
A comparison of five in-school educational and service approaches offered at seven sites in Arizona to 789 pregnant and parenting teenagers shows that except for those who enroll in a program in their third trimester, pregnant and parenting teenagers who attend a comprehensive, school-based, community-linked program are significantly more likely to continue in school than are those who have no access to a special program. The comprehensive program's impact is greatest among Hispanic students, younger students, those in grades 9-10, those who are living with their partner and those who enter the program in the first trimester. Two of the program components--strong outreach efforts and case management-are believed to have an especially favorable impact on continuation in school.Keywords: Adolescent Pregnancy; Americas; Arizona; Behavior; Clinic Activities; Community Participation; Counseling; Cultural Background; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Economic Factors; Education; Educational Status; Ethnic Groups; Family And Household; Family Characteristics; Family Relationships; Fertility; Hispanics; Interdisciplinary Studies; Interpersonal Relations; Logistic Model; Longitudinal Studies; Mathematical Model; Models, Theoretical; North America; Northern America; Organization And Administration; Out-of-school Youths; Parents; Partner Communication; Population; Population Characteristics; Population Dynamics; Program Activities; Program Effectiveness; Program Evaluation; Programs; Reproductive Behavior; Research Methodology; School Enrollment; School-based Services; Schools; Secondary Schools; Socioeconomic Factors; Socioeconomic Status; Studies; United States; Whites
