“…Examining the intergenerational impact of childhood adversity among teen mothers and their children may be particularly important given the increased likelihood of teen mothers (as compared with older mothers) experiencing significant adversity exposures during childhood (Freed & SmithBattle, 2016; Madigan et al, 2014), and additional adversity experiences after childbirth (Okine et al, 2020; Stargel & Easterbrooks, 2020). Further, emerging evidence suggests that children's risk for compromised behavioral health may be linked to the parent's history of childhood adversity (Cooke et al, 2019; Lee et al, 2022).…”

IntroductionChildren's risk for marijuana use may be linked to their parents' history of childhood adversity, yet little is known about the mechanisms underlying this link. This study examined whether maternal parenting behavior and mental health serve as mechanisms linking maternal childhood adversity to their children's marijuana use at age 17 years, by gender.MethodsData were from the Young Women and Child Development Study (59% male), a longitudinal panel study, which began in 1988 and followed mother–child dyads for 17 years (n = 240). Participants were recruited from health and social services agencies located in a metropolitan region of Washington State. Hypotheses were tested using Structural Equation Modeling in Mplus. Multiple‐group analysis was conducted to evaluate potential gender differences.ResultsResults showed that maternal childhood adversity was associated with their mental health outcomes (β = .32, p < .001), which in turn was predictive of mothers' harsh parenting (β = .27, p < .01). Maternal harsh parenting behavior was then associated with their children's marijuana use at age 17 years (β = .34, p < .001). Multiple group analyses revealed that the path from harsh parenting to adolescent marijuana use differed across genders being only significant for boys (β = .42, p < .001).ConclusionsThe intergenerational impact of childhood adversity highlights the need for interventions that target both parents and children. This would support teen mothers with a history of childhood adversity to acquire skills and knowledge to help mitigate its impact on their parenting behaviors and offset risks for their children.

“…L os embarazos de segundo orden o mayor en la adolescencia exacerban los riesgos de salud y sociales asociados con la maternidad y el embarazo. 1 Globalmente, la mayoría de los embarazos subsecuentes en este grupo se concentran en los estratos más pobres de los países de medianos y bajos ingresos. 2 En México, alrededor de la quinta parte de los embarazos en menores de 20 años son de segundo orden.…”

Objetivo. Identificar cómo se implementa la estrategia de anticoncepción posevento obstétrico (APEO) y analizar las barreras, acciones y recomendaciones para prevenir embarazos subsecuentes en adolescentes. Material y métodos. Estudio cualitativo a través de análisis de contenido de 21 entrevistas semiestructuradas a personal de salud de instituciones de atención a población sin seguridad social de la Ciudad de México y Morelos. Resultados. La APEO se promueve durante el embarazo, parto, posaborto, puerperio y hasta 12 meses después del evento obstétrico. La consejería debe abordar, además de información técnica sobre métodos anticonceptivos, otras temáticas clave en relación con los derechos sexuales y reproductivos de los adolescentes. Se identifican barreras personales, institucionales y sociales para la implementación de la estrategia; el personal refiere acciones y recomendaciones específicas para su consolidación. Conclusión. La estrategia de APEO se debe fortalecer para garantizar la oferta de un servicio acorde con las necesidades de las mujeres menores de 20 años, así como diseñar intervenciones basadas en las buenas prácticas y recomendaciones de los prestadores de salud para superar las barreras y lograr periodos intergenésicos más allá de la adolescencia.
