Studied the effects of the school-based Early Childhood Centers for Children of Teen Parents Program. Records for 81 program participants were compared with those of 89 young mothers who did not participate. Participants had better school attendance and lower overall risk than nonparticipants and were more likely to graduate from high school. (SLD)
