Dalla, Rochelle L.; Gamble, Wendy C.
Journal of Family Issues, v21 n2 p225-45 Mar 2000
Intensive interviews focusing on perceptions of teenage parenting were conducted with Navajo teenage mothers, their mothers, and community informants. Two central themes representing commitment to maternity or adolescence were found. Factors associated with the prevalence of adolescent parenting on the Navajo reservation are discussed, as are practical implications for model building and intervention services. (Author/MKA)
