“…[3][4][5][6][7] Infants of adolescent mothers also have adverse developmental outcomes on a variety of measures. [8][9][10] There is limited research on the combined risk of extreme prematurity and having an adolescent mother. A large body of literature indicates that socioeconomic status (SES) influences development.…”

“…Historically, infants of adolescent mothers exhibit more hyperactivity, hostility, resistance, and lack of impulse control and adjustment skills. 8,22 Infant temperament, maternal depression, unwanted pregnancy, and quality of home environment have been found to be statistical predictors of behavioral problems, inattention, and aggression. [23][24][25] These same risk factors are embedded in adolescent motherhood.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Extremely preterm infants and infants born to adolescent mothers are at risk for adverse developmental. The objectives were to evaluate development and behavior outcomes of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants born to adolescent mothers ,20 compared with adult mothers $20 years and to identify socioeconomic risk factors that affect outcomes.METHODS: Retrospective cohort analysis of 211 infants .27 weeks of adolescent mothers and 1723 infants of adult mothers at Neonatal Research Network centers from 2008 to 2011. Groups were compared and regression models were run to predict 18-to 22-month adverse outcomes. Primary outcomes were Bayley-III scores, neurodevelopmental impairment, and Brief Infant Toddler Social Emotional Assessment problem scores (BITSEA/P) $75th percentile.RESULTS: Adolescent mothers were more often single, Hispanic, less educated, and had public insurance. By 18 to 22 months, their children had significantly increased rates of having lived $3 places (21% vs 9%), state supervision (7% vs 3%), rehospitalization (56% vs 46%), and BITSEA/ P $75th percentile (50% vs 32%) and nonsignificant Bayley-III language scores ,85 (56% vs 49%, P = .07). In regression analysis, children of adolescent mothers were more likely to have BITSEA/P $75th percentile (relative risk 1.50, 95% confidence interval 1.08-2.07). Living $3 places and nonwhite race were predictors of adverse behavior. State supervision was an independent predictor of each Bayley-III composite ,70 and neurodevelopmental impairment.CONCLUSIONS: ELBW infants of adolescent mothers experience high social and environmental risks that are associated with adverse behavior outcomes. These findings inform the need for comprehensive follow-up, coordinated care services, and behavior interventions for ELBW infants of adolescent mothers.WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Infants born extremely premature and infants born to adolescent mothers are at risk for adverse developmental and behavior outcomes. There is limited research on the dual risk imparted to infants born extremely premature to adolescent mothers. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:Extremely premature infants of adolescent mothers have significantly increased rates of behavior problems. Nonwhite race and living in $3 places by 18 to 22 months of age are risk factors for adverse behavior outcomes among infants of adolescent mothers. Dr Hoffman conceptualized and designed the study, drafted the initial manuscript, and approved the final manuscript as submitted; Dr Bann performed all the statistical analysis; Dr Higgins reviewed and approved the research protocol and final manuscript; and Dr Vohr mentored and assisted Dr Hoffman in conceptualizing and designing the study, revising the manuscript, and approving of the final manuscript as submitted. There are multiple coexisting socioeconomic and biologic factors that place extremely preterm infants of adolescent mothers at increased risk for adverse developmental and behavioral outcomes. Previous studies of extremely preterm in...

“…Most research on outcomes for children of teenage mothers has focused on child outcomes in infancy, early childhood (0-7 years of age), and preadolescence (8-10 years of age) (Baldwin & Cain, 1980;Buchholz & Gol, 1986;Hetchman, 1989;Hofferth, 1987;Hubbs-Tait, Osofsky, Hann, & Culp, 1994). In addition, most of these studies used data from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), and the subsequent surveys of the children born to the women of the NLSY from 1986-90 (Barratt, 1991;Geronimus, Korenman, & Hillemeier, 1994;Ketterlinus, Henderson, & Lamb, 1991;; for a review and discussion of the Children of the NLSY, see Chase-Lansdale, Mott, Brooks-Gunn, & Phillips, 1991).…”

“…El embarazo adolescente reproduce las desigualdades sociales, es así que en la región Metropolitana la mayor proporción de madres adolescentes la tiene la comuna de La Pintana (21,6%) y la menor tasa Vitacura (1,4%) (1). La mayoría de estos nacimientos ocurren en mujeres solteras y en condiciones de salud y socioeconómicas más desventajosas que en mujeres adultas (2,3).…”

Patrón intergeneracional del embarazo adolescente en las hijas de una cohorte de mujeres que controlaron su primer embarazo en un centro integral para adolescentes embarazadas Electra González A. 1a , Ingrid Leal F. 1b , Temístocles Molina G. 1c RESUMENAntecedentes: Las circunstancia desventajosas de las madres adolescentes tienden a repetirse, con consecuencias aún más graves en la vida de sus hijas, que suelen tener dificultades escolares y se embarazan a una edad incluso más temprana que sus propias madres. Objetivo: Examinar el patrón intergeneracional del embarazo adolescente en las hijas de una cohorte de mujeres que fueron madres adolescentes. Método: Estudio transversal medido en dos momentos, de una cohorte histórica de mujeres que controlaron su primer embarazo en un centro especializado en la atención de adolescentes embarazadas. La información de las madres se obtuvo en la primera entrevista que se aplicó al ingreso prenatal y la de las hijas fue obtenida cuando éstas eran adolescentes. Se analizaron las características de las madres y de las hijas que se embarazaron. Posteriormente se compararon las características entre las hijas que se embarazaron y aquellas que no. Resultados: En el 21% las hijas se embarazaron, aunque menor a lo que reporta la literatura, es igualmente preocupante porque un embarazo en la adolescencia altera en general la trayectoria estudiantil y el proyecto de vida de la adolescente. Las hijas repitieron consecuencias adversas, pero lograron tener éxito en la permanencia escolar y sus madres tuvieron menos hijos que las abuelas, como resultado positivo del programa. Conclusión: Programas de atención integral con profesionales entrenados en la atención de adolescentes embarazadas pueden tener un impacto positivo importante en la reducción de los patrones reproductivos intergeneracionales del embarazo adolescente. PALABRAS CLAVES: Embarazo adolescente, patrón intergeneracional, consecuencias adversas SUMMARYBackground: Disadvantaged circumstances of adolescent mothers tend to repeat, with even worse consequences in the lives of their daughters, who often have schooling difficulties and become pregnant at an even earlier age than their own mothers. Objective: To examine the intergenerational pattern of adolescent pregnancy in daughters of a cohort of women who were teenage mothers. Method: Cross-sectional study measured at two points in a historical cohort of women who attended their first pregnancy in a specialized center of pregnant adolescents. Mothers information was obtained in the first interview that was applied to the prenatal admission and daughters information was obtained when they were teenagers. The characteristics of the mothers and daughters who got pregnant are analyzed. We then compared the characteristics
