Long-term Outcomes for Teen Mothers Who Participated in a Mentoring Program to Prevent Repeat Teen Pregnancy.

CONCLUSION: Educational achievement and employment were high among a modest proportion of adolescent mothers who had participated in a culturally tailored, teen mother-adult mentoring program. Repeat teen pregnancy was infrequent and the mentoring program was perceived as contributing to the success of those who responded to the follow-up. A future randomized trial based on this model may confirm these findings. PMID: 30449542 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
