Three hundred and ninety (390) pregnant and parenting teens participated in a school-based and school-linked federally funded program at 10 high-risk schools. The program was designed to (1) increase the use of referred services and attendance at these services without students' missing school, (2) increase academic skills, and (3) increase health and well-being of the students and their infants. The program provided 18 services coordinated at the school or provided on site. The end-of-year evaluations indicated 88% to 95% of teens attended services that were recommended, and 69% did not miss school to receive these services. The teens' rate of passing their grade level increased at the end of the program year. Additionally, 78% used birth control, and over 90% of the infants received timely health care. The qualitative data provided by students indicated pregnant and parenting teens wanted to remain in school despite the struggles they encountered. The process evaluation provided by the coordinators at each school indicated that communication and cooperation between program staff and school nurses were the key elements in enabling teens to receive the targeted services.
390名怀孕及育有子女的青少年参与了一项由联邦政府资助、以学校为基础且与学校相关联的项目,该项目在10所高风险学校开展。该项目旨在:(1)增加转介服务的使用率以及学生在不缺课的情况下参加这些服务的出勤率;(2)提高学业技能;(3)增进学生及其婴儿的健康和幸福感。该项目提供了18项在学校协调或现场提供的服务。年终评估表明,88%至95%的青少年参加了推荐的服务,69%的青少年没有因接受这些服务而缺课。在项目年度结束时,青少年的年级通过率有所提高。此外,78%的人采取了节育措施,超过90%的婴儿得到了及时的医疗保健。学生提供的定性数据表明,怀孕及育有子女的青少年尽管遇到了困难,但仍想留在学校。各学校协调员提供的过程评估表明,项目工作人员与学校护士之间的沟通与合作是使青少年能够获得目标服务的关键因素。
