Abstract:
The need for educational opportunity and health care provision for the increasing number of teenage mothers is discussed. An educationally-based program for inner-city school-age mothers is described, and an evaluation of its effectiveness reported. Mothers in the program completed significantly more education than did control mothers, and their children showed superior social development compared to the children of control mothers.
