Childhood Victimization: Relationship to Adolescent Pregnancy Outcome.
Stevens-Simon, Catherine; McAnarney, Elizabeth R.
Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal, v18 n7 p569-75 Jul 1994
This study, involving 127 poor black pregnant girls (12 to 18 years old) of whom 33% reported previous physical or sexual abuse, found that abused adolescents scored significantly higher on stress and depression scales and rated their families as less supportive than did nonabused adolescents. Abused adolescents were also more likely to report substance abuse during pregnancy. (Author/DB)
