Unwed Teenage Mothers: An Ounce of Prevention Is Worth a Ton of Cure.
Burnett, Gilbert H.
American Journal of Family Therapy, v30 n1 p57-61 Jan-Feb 2002
A problem that has an impact on many segments of our society today can be traced to unwed adolescent girls giving birth. This article details the consequences such births have on our nation as a whole, and explores ways to prevent the pregnancies rather than merely offering up more coping solutions once teenage girls become pregnant.
