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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definition of the risks of adolescent childbearing has received considerable investigative attention during the last decade. We have gradually moved away from simplistically studying young maternal age as the sole determinant of biologie and psychosocial outcome, even though we recognize it is one of several factors which warrant consideration. We now recognize that if adolescents receive adequate and consistent pre natal care, they and their infants should do nearly as weIl as adult women and their infants of similar backgrounds. Thus, the major morbidities for adolescent mothers, adolescent fathers, and their infants are psychosocial: lack of educational and voca tional futures, failed marriages, and dependence on government aid for support. The adequacy of the parenting of adolescent mothers and fathers and the long-term developmental and physical outcomes of their children are largely unstudied. This book, edited by Dr. Max Sugar, a recognized authority on adolescence, focuses on the important topic of adolescent parenthood. The authors of this timely contribution approach the topic of adolescent parenthood in a unique fashion, utilizing a combination of several approaches: consideration of fictional characters in history , astute and carefully conceptual ized clinical observations, reviews of the literature, and their own investigation. lt will be through the use of such a creative approach that we shall define the important quest ions which should be addressed about adolescents as parents and the outcome for their children.

Download or read book Multicultural Counseling with Teenage Fathers written by Mark S. Kiselica and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1995-08-03 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An up-to-date and in-depth guide for dealing with teenage fathers, this volume provides a framework for responding to not only the general but also the culturally specific needs of any given unwed teen father. Offering perceptive solutions, the author significantly contributes to the existing literature on how to help teenage men who face unplanned, out-of-wedlock fatherhood by providing clear and concise guidance within the web of legal, family, and personal issues surrounding teenage fatherhood. The book examines the role of the teenage father's relationships - to his parents, his child, the mother of his child and her parents, and his peers - as they relate to his adjustment and changing worldview. While sensitive to cultural considerations, Mark S. Kiselica illuminates ways in which to encourage teenage fathers to take control of their lives and act responsibly regardless of cultural background.

Download or read book Adolescent Pregnancy and Parenting written by Jean-Victor P. Wittenberg and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-23 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the impact of social stigma on adolescents who are at high risk of teen pregnancy. It describes and discusses personal and social factors that predispose them to becoming pregnant and having babies; factors that may subsequently protect or more often, compromise outcomes for both parents and children. The authors, who represent a range of social roles and perspectives, describe the pathways from stigma and its unfounded beliefs about disadvantaged adolescents, to the ways stress burdens teen parents and their children. They note that successful teen parents often go unrecognized and wonder how many more are hobbled by stigma. They recognize the lifespan impacts of stress as described in the ACE studies; stress that has psychological, health and economic implications at individual and social levels. They examine the impact of stigma on parent-child relationships and the attachment system, a stress management system, learned in infancy and persisting into adulthood. The book describes how stigma finds its way into daily interpersonal encounters, systemic policies and practices, and even into healthcare research and services. This sets the stage for an in-depth look at attachment systems within stress management, interventions, and recommendations for professionals whose work is impacted by these issues. Written by experts in the field, this text is the first to cover the current understanding of the risk factors, advanced understanding of developmental issues, and the key intervention tactics for the most positive outcome for adolescent parents and their families. Adolescent Pregnancy and Parenting is an excellent resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, physicians, social workers, educators, researchers, and policy makers working with youths at risk for teenage pregnancies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This publication is designed to provide background for hearings of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources on the general subject of adolescent pregnancy prevention. Research findings that have relevance for policy makers and administrators who are concerned about teenage pregnancy are summarized. Major program and solution strategies (sexuality education programs, contraception interventions, school based clinics, and the values based adolescent family life programs), their basic assumptions, and evidence of their effectiveness are discussed. The conclusion emphasizes the continuing failure of the major interventions, the need for broader based approaches that address more specifically the dynamics of the problem, and the potential of the value based programs. Comments by the staff of the committee majority on the report are included.

Download or read book Teen Mothers and the Revolving Welfare Door written by Kathleen Mullan Harris and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kathleen Mullan Harris reveals the relationship between black teenage mothers and the welfare system. Does welfare encourage them to maintain a life of dependency? How does education, marriage, and employment impact this relationship? How do these women escape dependency? Harris's account is based on Frank Furstenberg's Baltimore study, which began in the 1960s and has continued for more than 20 years. This study traces the paths of these mothers and provides commentary on the changes in the welfare system and the way society perceives welfare recipients. Not only are job prospects worse today but so are welfare benefits, and the abortion rate has risen drastically.
