A total of 414 births occurred to women under 15 years of age in Louisiana in 1972. The infant mortality rates of these children ranged from 6 to 50 per thousand live births when various combinations of medical and social factors were considered. Highest risk is asigned to the offspring of mothers who were poor, or white, or married, or with limited prenatal care. Prenatal care was generally less in the teenager than the older woman. The teenage stillbirth, perinatal mortality, prematurity, and infant mortality rates are generally higher than those in older women. This study confirms the findings of other authors that the offspring of teenage mothers are at greater risk than the offspring of older women although quality prenatal care and origin in a favorable socioeconomic background will ameliorate substantial elements of this risk.
1972年，路易斯安那州共有414名15岁以下的女性分娩。在考虑了各种医学和社会因素的不同组合后，这些孩子的婴儿死亡率在每千例活产6至50例之间。风险最高的是那些母亲贫穷、或为白人、或已婚、或产前护理有限的孩子。青少年的产前护理通常比年长女性少。青少年的死产、围产期死亡率、早产率和婴儿死亡率通常高于年长女性。这项研究证实了其他作者的发现，即少女母亲的后代比年长女性的后代面临更大的风险，尽管高质量的产前护理和有利的社会经济背景出身将减轻这种风险的很大一部分。
