This article reports the findings of the third national survey of services for and needs of pregnant teenagers and their infants in the large cities of the United States, done in 1979-1980. Only five cities have developed a new program since 1976, and major unmet needs continue to exist. The survey also provides baseline data on the status of health, social, and educational care for this target population. With the substantial decrease in the various sources of federal funds due to current budgetary reduction, continued monitoring is required to determine the effects on services for pregnant teenagers and their infants, as well as on the incidence of teenage pregnancy.
本文报告了1979 - 1980年在美国大城市进行的第三次全国性关于怀孕青少年及其婴儿的服务与需求调查的结果。自1976年以来，只有五个城市开展了新项目，主要的未满足需求依然存在。该调查还提供了关于这一目标人群健康、社会和教育照料状况的基线数据。由于当前预算削减，联邦资金的各种来源大幅减少，因此需要持续监测，以确定其对怀孕青少年及其婴儿服务的影响，以及对青少年怀孕发生率的影响。
