“…This may be relevant based on a recent meta-analysis that showed increased risk for pregnancy with history of physical and sexual abuse but not neglect or emotional abuse. 21 Our sample population reflected the demographics of Missouri with only Caucasian and African American subjects because of small sample size among other racial groups. Results may not be generalizable to other races and ethnicities as well as other regions of the country.…”

Purpose To compare risk for teen pregnancies between children living in poverty with no Child Protection Services (CPS) report history, and those in poverty with a history of CPS report. Methods Children selected from families in poverty, both with and without CPS report histories were prospectively followed from 1993–2009 using electronic administrative records from agencies including child protective services, emergency departments, Medicaid services and juvenile courts. A total of 3281 adolescent females were followed until age 18. Results For teens with history of poverty only, 16.8% had been pregnant at least once by age 17. In teens with history of both poverty and report of child abuse or neglect, 28.9% had been pregnant at least once by age 17. While multivariate survival analyses revealed several other significant factors at the family and youth services levels, a report of maltreatment remained significant (about a 66% higher risk). Conclusions Maltreatment is a significant risk factor for teen pregnancy among low income youth even after controlling for neighborhood disadvantage, other caregiver risks and indicators of individual emotional and behavioral problems.

“…In addition, a variety of specific, potentially traumatic types of adversity have been linked to adolescent pregnancy, including child maltreatment and partner violence, even after taking into account factors such as neighborhood disadvantage and other caregiver risks (Covington, Justason, & Wright, 2001;Kennedy & Bennett, 2006;Weinman, Agurcia, Berenson, Volk, & Rickert, 2000). Women with childhood histories of maltreatment reports and who experienced childhood sexual abuse are at greatly increased risk of experiencing an early pregnancy (Francisco et al, 2008;Garwood, Gerassi, Jonson-Reid, Plax, & Drake, 2015;Madigan, Wade, Tarabulsy, Jenkins, & Shouldice, 2014;Noll, Shenk, & Putnam, 2009).…”

Reproductive justice advocates emphasize the rights of women to choose to have children, to decide the conditions under which they give birth, and to parent their children with support, safety, and dignity. This article examines what a reproductive justice perspective contributes to infant mental health work with teenage mothers and their families. It explores the historical framing of teenage pregnancy in which young mothers are the cause of a variety of social problems and in which the primary policy and practice approach is pregnancy prevention. The article offers alternative framings of teenage childbearing, based on reproductive justice principles, which focus on social conditions surrounding teenage parenthood and the meaning of motherhood in the lives of young women. These alternative frames shift the practice agenda to eradicating unjust social conditions and providing supports for young women in their roles as parents. The article then describes ways in which two infant mental health programs have incorporated reproductive justice principles into their work with young families: Chicago's community doula model and Florida's Young Parents Project for court‐involved teenage parents. Finally, the article extracts a set of principles deriving from a reproductive justice perspective that are relevant to infant mental health work with young families.
