The Adolescent as Mother: Early Risk Identification.

Klein, Helen Altman; Cordell, Antoinette S.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v16 n1 p47-58 Feb 1987

This research identified easy-to-use maternal postpartum screening dimensions to predict two-month adjustment among 28 primipara adolescents. The results suggested several predictors: initial parenting attitudes, preparation for parenting, infant holding style, and aspects of social functioning. Postpartum risk screening may be a feasable way to identify intervention needs. (Author/JAZ)
