Comprehensive support was provided to urban, first-time adolescent mothers in a prospective research project designed to reduce repeat pregnancy and school drop-ollt rates. Adolescent mothers were assigned to either an Intervention (n = 34) or Control (n = 29) group. Intervention mothers received home visits, parenting classes, school advocacy, and case management services. Initial assessments occurred shortly after delivery: follow-up measures were administered during a 24-month home visit. Significant differences on outcomes of (1) repeat pregnancy (7 Intervention vs. 14 Control). and (2) school drop-out rates (2 Intervention vs. 8 Control) suggest that intervention programming helped adolescent mothers delay subsequent pregnancy while staying enrolled in or completing school.
