“…Health care (22.6%) and social service (16.7%) industries were the most common employment segments, and typically reported annual earnings in the range of $21,001-35,000 (34.4%) or $35,001-45,000 (21.5%), indicating higher earnings than would be expected for the Hmong population generally. Our findings were consistent with that of extant research regarding the negative effects of early marriage on the income and educational attainment of women in general (Astone & Upchurch, 1994;Burden & Klerman, 1984;Glick, Ruf, White, & Goldscheider, 2005;Howell & Frese, 1982;Lowe & Witt, 1984;McLaughlin, Grady, Billy, Landale, & Winges, 1986;Moore et al, 1993;Sharlin, 1998;Teti & Lamb, 1989;Upchurch, 1993;Vang and Bogenschutz, in press). Age at marriage was significantly related to educational attainment ( 2 (6, N ¼ 149) ¼ 17.16, p ¼ .009).…”

An online survey was completed by Hmong women in the United States (n ¼ 186). The survey was distributed via listserves and websites frequently used by Hmong women, and solicited information about marital factors, presence and intensity of depressive symptoms, and socio-demographic circumstances. Findings: The findings of this article indicate a significant relationship between marital abuse and depression among women married as teenagers when compared to nonabused women who married in adulthood. Excessive worry and feeling like everything takes great effort were the two most frequently reported indicators of depression reported by Hmong women in this sample. Additional marital and socio-demographic factors are explored in their relationship with depressive presentation. Applications: These findings suggest that mental health practitioners working with Hmong women may need to be particularly attuned to issues of marital stressors related to traditional marriage practices and cultural stressors.

“…Many researchers and clinicians have observed that positive outcomes for teen parents (finishing high school, financial independence, normal infant and child development) often are associated with the presence of emotional and material support provided by the teen's own family (Burden & Klerman, 1984;Furstenberg, 1976Furstenberg, , 1980Callas, 1980;Miller, 1983;Ooms, 1984;Pressler, 1980). When the family is willing and able to offer housing, financial assistance, free child care, and/or emotional support, the impact of adverse conditions in other areas is alleviated.…”

This paper focuses on the identification of the factors associated with the productive and unproductive use of supportive and therapeutic services by high‐risk teen parents. Referral and treatment data were analyzed and discussed, as were two case studies. The importance of family support and family relationships to the use of services is highlighted in both the statistical and clinical data. Treatment implications are discussed.

“…Living arrangements would appear to influence the size and helpfulness of social support. Researchers have consistently identified the long-term advantages to young mothers of living at home, with its richer source of social, emotional, and maternal aid (Burden & Klerman, 1984).…”

This study tests the direct and indirect contributions of molecular social skills, global social skill, residence, age, race, and participation in a steady relationship to the social support of young mothers (N = 109). The average age of respondents was 16.8 years, and 67% were non‐White. Participants completed role‐play measures of skill in conflict resolution and written measures of social support. A correlational analysis supports the hypothesis that molecular social skills increase overall social skill and that these, together, contribute significantly to better social support.
