The Unwanted Child.
Safonova, Tamara; Leparsky, E. A.
Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v22 n2 p155-57 Feb 1998
This study examined mothers' attitudes toward pregnancy and outcomes of unwanted pregnancies in 1,454 women in Moscow (Russia). Unplanned and unwanted pregnancies greatly increased the risk of unfavorable pregnancy outcomes (especially prematurity and intrauterine developmental delay). The principal factor contributing to an unwanted pregnancy was the unmarried status of the mother. (DB)
