“…This asynchrony can lead to maladaptive behaviors when coupled with an inability to adequately cope with increasing demands (Benson & Elder, 2011). Indeed, adolescent motherhood has been shown to have physical and mental health consequences for mothers (Lee et al, 2016;Patel & Sen, 2012), and can negatively impact economic wellness that persists into middle adulthood (Assini-Meytin & Green, 2015). Moreover, children born to adolescent mothers are at risk for developmental and cognitive deficiencies (Jahromi, Umaña-Taylor, Updegraff, & Zeiders, 2016) underscoring the potent intergenerational impact that young motherhood can confer on offspring.…”

This study tested sexual abuse as a unique predictor of subsequent adolescent sexual behaviors, pregnancy, and motherhood when in company with other types of maltreatment (physical abuse, neglect) and alternative behavioral, family, and contextual risk factors in a prospective, longitudinal study of maltreated (n = 275) and comparison (n = 239) nulliparous females aged 14-19 years old assessed annually through 19 years old. Hierarchical regression was used to disentangle risk factors that account for the associations of maltreatment type on risky sexual behaviors at 19 years old, adolescent pregnancy, and adolescent motherhood. Findings indicate that sexual and physical abuse remain significant predictors of risky sexual behaviors, and that sexual abuse remains a significant predictor of adolescent motherhood when alternative explanatory variables are controlled.

“…Recruitment. The data were from the Young Women and Child Development Study, a longitudinal panel study examining the comprehensive developmental outcomes of two cohorts of teen mothers and their offspring (Lee et al, 2017;Yoon et al, 2019). Data collection began in 1988 for Cohort 1 (C1) and 1992 for Cohort 2 (C2) and concluded for both cohorts in 2007.…”

Childhood adversities have been linked to externalizing problems in adolescence. However, studies focusing on early adolescence are rare. Even less empirical attention has been given to the unique and joint influences of children’s and maternal childhood adversity on children’s externalizing behavior, particularly with a keen focus on the nature of adversities. This study examined the influences of children’s and maternal childhood adversities on children’s externalizing problems in early adolescence, delineating domains of childhood adversities. The data came from a longitudinal study of teen mothers and their children ( N = 495). The findings reveal children’s childhood maltreatment experience was associated with externalizing problems in early adolescence. Further, maternal childhood maltreatment functioned as an additive risk source for target adolescents’ externalizing problems. These findings support the need to delineate adversity domains to further clarify the link between childhood adversity and externalizing problems. Our findings also support a multigenerational approach in pediatric settings.

“…The current study used data from the Young Women and Child Development Study, a longitudinal study examining a broad range of developmental outcomes spanning multiple developmental time points of teen mothers and their offspring. Eligible participants were pregnant, unmarried adolescents aged 17 years or younger who were planning to carry their babies to term at the time of enrollment (Lee et al, 2017). Participants were recruited from public and private hospital prenatal clinics, public school alternative programs, and social services in three urban counties in the Northwest United States (Oxford et al, 2010).…”

Time Dimension of Childhood Adversities and Externalizing Behavior Among Children of Teen Mothers: Sensitive Period Hypothesis vs. Accumulation Hypothesis

Childhood adversities are associated with compromised behavioral health later in life. However, less attention has been paid to how time contributes to the damaging effects of adversity exposure. In addition, the differential impact of childhood maltreatment and household dysfunction has been understudied. The current study tested (a) the sensitive period hypothesis regarding timing of childhood adversity on externalizing behavior, (b) the accumulation hypothesis regarding the associations between the duration of childhood adversity and externalizing behavior, and (c) the domain-specific impact of childhood adversity on externalizing behavior. Data came from the Young Women and Child Development Study ( N = 240). Childhood adversity was measured at seven periods (age range: 5.5–16), which were used to test the sensitive period hypothesis. Childhood adversity at each time period was summed across seven time periods to test the accumulation measure representing the duration of childhood adversity. Least angle and multiple regression analyses were conducted. Results supported the sensitive period hypothesis—the effect of childhood adversity was the most prominent at age 11.5, whereas the accumulation of childhood adversity time periods was not a significant predictor of later externalizing behavior. Probing childhood adversity by subdomains revealed maltreatment primarily accounted for externalizing behavior ( p < .05). Findings suggest intervention efforts for children of teen mothers during early adolescence to prevent externalizing behavior in later adolescence. Unpacking childhood adversity may illuminate key areas of vulnerability to externalizing behavior.
