Indisputably, unplanned teen pregnancies have myriad personal, family, and social consequences, but answers to questions surrounding this phenomenon are far less obvious. The purpose of this investigation was to determine correlations, if any, between personal, family, and educational background factors and unplanned teen pregnancy. An anonymous questionnaire was administered to 341 volunteer respondents in 14 Teenage Pregnancy/Parenting Programs (TAPPS). Significant differences among respondents were related to family relationships, race/ethnicity, and sexuality education. These findings provide valuable information for family science researchers, family life educators, health personnel, policymakers, and parents who wish to ameliorate the problems in teen pregnancy/parenting by reframing issues for a more intergrated approach involving both prevention and intervention.
毫无疑问，意外怀孕的青少年会面临无数个人、家庭和社会层面的后果，但围绕这一现象的问题答案却远非那么清晰明了。本次调查的目的是确定个人、家庭和教育背景因素与青少年意外怀孕之间是否存在关联（若有）。我们向14个青少年怀孕/育儿项目（TAPPS）中的341名志愿者受访者发放了一份匿名问卷。受访者之间的显著差异与家庭关系、种族/族裔和性教育有关。这些发现为家庭科学研究人员、家庭生活教育工作者、卫生人员、政策制定者以及希望通过重新构建问题以采取更综合的预防和干预方法来改善青少年怀孕/育儿问题的家长提供了有价值的信息。
