Fifty - six hispanic adolescents who requested a pregnancy determination at a municipal outpatient adolescent clinic participated in a comparative study of negative testers, childbearers, and aborters. The study's purposes were to assess differences between negative and positive pregnancy testers and to evaluate the pregnancy resolution decision - making process of positive testers. Data were collected using a two -part structured interview administered prior to and following knowledge of pregnancy test results. Results indicated that negative and positive pregnancy testers were similar in all areas evaluated. However, positive testers were slightly older and had higher self - esteem than negative testers. Of the 36 positive testers, 29 chose to deliver an dkeep the baby. None of the adolescents chose adoption. Adolescents were consistent in their pregnancy resolution decision before and after knowledge of pregnancy test ential person in the decision - making process. There were no significant differences between the childbearers and the aborters, although the former demonstrated higher self - esteem and greater religiosity. Most of the teenager were at risk for unintended pregnancy, therefore, subsequent family planning counseling efforts should be directed at this population.
