Adolescent parents are often ill prepared to provide their new babies with the care and stimulation they need for satisfactory development. A series of age-paced parent education booklets was designed to help these young parents acquire the information, knowledge, and confidence they need to improve their parenting practices. This is a report of a study designed to evaluate the impact of this parent education program on the parenting practices of adolescent mothers. The parenting practices of seventy young mothers who had received the parenting booklets monthly during their babies' first year of life were compared with those of a comparable group of eighty-five adolescent mothers who had not participated in the program. Results suggest that receiving the booklet series was associated with more positive parenting attitudes, beliefs, and practices. Implications for preventive services are discussed.
青少年父母往往没有做好充分准备，无法为新生婴儿提供其健康成长所需的照料和刺激。我们设计了一系列按年龄阶段编写的家长教育手册，以帮助这些年轻父母获取改善育儿方式所需的信息、知识和信心。本文报告了一项旨在评估该家长教育项目对青少年母亲育儿方式影响的研究。将70名在婴儿出生第一年每月收到育儿手册的年轻母亲的育儿方式，与85名未参与该项目的类似青少年母亲的育儿方式进行了比较。结果表明，收到手册系列与更积极的育儿态度、信念和行为有关。文中还讨论了对预防服务的启示。
