    First-time adolescent mothers demonstrate high parenting knowledge, comparable to adult mothers. This challenges previous findings and highlights the need for further research into adolescent parenting effectiveness.

    Area of Science:

    • Parenting and Child Development
    • Adolescent Health
    • Public Health Interventions

    Background:

    • Adolescent mothers often face societal stigma regarding parenting skills.
    • Previous research suggested deficiencies in adolescent parenting knowledge.
    • Special services are provided by public school systems to support these mothers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To measure the parenting knowledge of first-time adolescent mothers receiving public school services.
    • To assess adolescent mothers' awareness of the impact of parenting on infant and maternal well-being.
    • To compare adolescent parenting knowledge with that of adult mothers.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the infant Caregiving Inventory (ICI) to assess parenting knowledge.
    • Focused on first-time adolescent mothers enrolled in public school special services.
