Predictors and correlates of continuing involvement with the baby's father among adolescent mothers

Article Abstract:

Predictors and correlates of a stable ongoing relationship between the baby's father and adolescent mothers were studied. It was found that fathers were more likely to remain involved if the couple had an intimate an supportive relationship six weeks after delivery. Young mothers were more likely to report continuous custody of their babies and physicians were less likely to report injuries, accidents or child abuse or neglect.

Maternal grandmother support was found to mitigate strain in teenage mother-father relations. Implications for policy and intervention are examined.
