Family Dynamics and Relationships Crime Patterns and Interventions Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health

Abstract

A greater percentage of teen fathers than of teenagers who are not fathers come from poor and unstable households whose members are less educated. Generally speaking, for Whites, being a teenage father is associated with having a low self-esteem, an external locus of control, and conservative sex-role attitudes, whereas for Blacks, it is not. Data are from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experiences—Youth Cohort.
