Abstract

Concerns for the long-term health and social well-being of teen mothers and their children arose in the 1970s as early childbearing was depicted as a public health problem. Early researchers identified the high-risk nature of teen mothering and a host of unfavorable maternal-child outcomes. The purpose of this study is to review the research published since 2010 on the outcomes for teen mothers’ offspring ≥ 6 years of age; to examine trends in the types of studies conducted; and to identify the strengths and limitations of this research.
