Defining Early Adolescent Childbearing.
Phipps, Maureen G.; Sowers, MaryFran
American Journal of Public Health, v92 n1 p125-28 Jan 2002
Determined the age group for defining early adolescent childbearing based on rates of adverse clinical outcomes. Data on infant mortality, very low birth weight, and very pre-term delivery per 1,000 live births for women age 12-23 years in the 1995 U.S. birth cohort indicate that early adolescent childbearing is best defined as giving birth at age 15 or younger.
