One hundred and four indigent, pregnant adolescents were selected to evaluate the effect of a prenatal education curriculum presented in a maternity clinic. Adolescent mothers were visited 6 months postpartum to test which short-term, intermediate, and long-term curriculum content items were accurately and effectively retained. Success of the curriculum was evaluated by a trained social worker in the girls' home to ascertain how these content areas were reflected in the adolescent mother's behavior. Short-term matter-child health-care compliance content showed a high degree of success. Intermediate child-rearing content techniques often did not lead to appropriate behavior six months after the baby was born. Long-term educational and vocational performance content did not demonstrate effective long-term retention. Technical aspects of child-rearing, even when deliberately presented by health educators, did not appear to be easily applied in the extended family setting, and long-term goals seemed inconsistent with the adolescent's behavior.
104名贫困的怀孕青少年被选来评估在一家妇产科诊所开展的产前教育课程的效果。产后6个月对青少年母亲进行回访，以测试哪些短期、中期和长期课程内容项目被准确有效地记住了。课程的成功程度由一名经过培训的社会工作者在女孩家中进行评估，以确定这些内容领域如何在青少年母亲的行为中得到体现。短期的母婴保健依从性内容取得了高度成功。中期的育儿内容技巧在婴儿出生6个月后往往没有导致适当的行为。长期的教育和职业表现内容并未显示出有效的长期记忆效果。育儿的技术方面，即使是由健康教育工作者特意讲授的，在大家庭环境中似乎也不容易应用，而且长期目标似乎与青少年的行为不一致。
