This report studies the Resource Mothers Program, an organization that improves perinatal outcome through social support. Resource Mothers are nonprofessional women who combine warmth, parenting experience, and knowledge of their local community services to reduce the hazards associated with rural adolescent pregnancy. Each Resource Mother is assigned to a pregnant teenage primigravida and serves as part of her support system throughout pregnancy and until the infant's first birthday. We studied 565 matched pairs (case/control) of rural teenage primigravidas with single pregnancies with and without the social support of the Resource Mother. There were significantly more patients with adequate prenatal care in the program group (P less than .000001). The frequency of low birth weight infants was significantly less (P = .006), as was the small-for-gestational-age rate (P = .002).
本报告研究了“资源母亲计划”，这是一个通过社会支持改善围产期结局的组织。资源母亲是非专业女性，她们将温暖、育儿经验和对当地社区服务的了解结合起来，以减少与农村青少年怀孕相关的风险。每位资源母亲被分配给一名初孕的怀孕少女，并在整个孕期及婴儿满一岁前作为其支持系统的一部分。我们研究了565对匹配的农村初孕单胎少女（病例/对照），其中一组有资源母亲的社会支持，另一组没有。项目组中接受充分产前护理的患者明显更多（P小于0.000001）。低体重儿的发生率明显更低（P = 0.006），小于胎龄儿的发生率也是如此（P = 0.002）。
