Book Synopsis Adolescent Sexual Behavior and Childbearing by : Laurie Schwab Zabin
Download or read book Adolescent Sexual Behavior and Childbearing written by Laurie Schwab Zabin and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1993 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topic of adolescent sexual behavior and childbearing at once entails multiple issues related to sexual activity, development, and parenting--each with its own sweeping consequences. Adolescent Sexual Behavior and Childbearing integrates current findings to provide a comprehensive approach to this topic by examining research from diverse perspectives. Discussions of the biological, sociocultural, and interpersonal forces and influences impinging on adolescents are thoughtfully delivered--and patterns of sexual activity, contraceptive use, abortion, single-parenthood, adolescent relationships, and prenatal care are carefully delineated. Interventions to prevent adolescent pregnancy are also provided, making this a resource that yields a powerful statement of the issues for research and social policy. "This is a book that should find a place in the working libraries of all persons interested in adolescent sexuality and pregnancy prevention." --Journal of Perinatology

Book Synopsis Choice and Circumstance by : Kristen A. Moore
Download or read book Choice and Circumstance written by Kristen A. Moore and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-24 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986. Forty five percent of black women have at least one child by the time they are turn twenty compared to 19 percent of white women. Eight-six percent of the births to black teens occurred to unmarried mothers compared to 30 percent among whites. Research shows that teenage childbearing has negative medical, social, and economic consequences and that women who first gave birth as teenagers are more likely to raise their families in poverty. In Choice and Circumstance the authors explore tree factors underlying the racial differences in the incidence of early childbearing; information about sex, pregnancy and contraception; need for family planning and abortion services; and motivation for postponing parenthood, including aspirations for schooling, employment plans and desire for children within marriage. They consider which teens postpone sex and pregnancy and why, and whether the kinds of motivation necessary to prevent early pregnancy vary by race in the United Sates, perhaps explaining the race differences in early childbearing.
Book Synopsis Adolescent Sexual Behavior and Early Childbearing by : Janet Lynn Lauritsen
Download or read book Adolescent Sexual Behavior and Early Childbearing written by Janet Lynn Lauritsen and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research presented in this dissertation summarizes the factors associated with adolescent sexual behavior and early childbearing. Emphasis is placed on assessing the usefulness of hypotheses suggested by two general theories of 'deviance', social control theory and strain theory, to explain race differences in these phenomena. Causal models are tested using panel data from the first two waves of the National Youth Survey for adolescent male and female sexual behavior, while panel data from the sophomore cohort of High School and Beyond are used to examine the factors associated with early childbearing. Logistic regression techniques are used to examine social control variables (e.g., attachment to family, commitment to educational goals, and involvement in conventional activities) and strain variables (e.g., the discrepancy between educational aspirations and expectations, and the perception of decreasing educational opportunities) for their effects on both sexual behavior and early parenthood. Results of the analyses suggest that among the general adolescent population, both social control and strain factors are significant predictors. However, when separate analyses are conducted within race and gender specific subgroups, significant differences emerge. The overall findings suggest that policies targetted toward adolescents in general will be least successful. Policies with more specific goals must carefully consider the overall context in which adolescents make decisions about their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By all indicators, the reproductive health of Americans has been deteriorating since 1980. Our nation is troubled by rates of teen pregnancies and newborn deaths that are worse than almost all others in the Western world. Science and Babies is a straightforward presentation of the major reproductive issues we face that suggests answers for the public. The book discusses how the clash of opinions on sex and family planning prevents us from making a national commitment to reproductive health; why people in the United States have fewer contraceptive choices than those in many other countries; what we need to do to improve social and medical services for teens and people living in poverty; how couples should "shop" for a fertility service and make consumer-wise decisions; and what we can expect in the futureâ€"featuring interesting accounts of potential scientific advances.
