The Effects of a Family Support Program and Other Factors on the Home Environments Provided by Adolescent Mothers.

Luster, Tom; And Others

Family Relations, v45 n3 p255-64 Jul 1996

Examined factors related to the quality of home environments that 83 teenage mothers provided for their 12-month-old infants. Findings show that teens who fostered supportive environments were less depressed and more empathic, had infants who were heavier at birth, received more support from the father, and lived in relatively safe neighborhoods.
