Abstract:
These data demonstrated that participants in our teen pregnancy program had better birth outcomes than comparable teens who did not participate in the program. Based on number of NICU admissions and lengths of stay, we estimate that this program provided, through the reduction of poor birth outcomes, potential cost savings of $890,000 over four years.
