“…We also include the percentage of the state population aged 15-19 years, because young mothers experience more difficult pregnancies (Phipps, Sowers, and DeMonner 2002). We add a measure of the abortion rate to control for the possibility that abortion might be a way to prevent postbirth mortality (see Gruber, Levine, and Staiger 1999).…”

If medical malpractice reform affects the supply of physicians, the effects will be concentrated in specialties facing high liability exposure. Many doctors are likely to be indifferent regarding reform, because their likelihood of being sued is low. This difference can be exploited to isolate the causal effect of medical malpractice reform on the supply of doctors in high-risk specialties, by using doctors in low-risk specialties as a contemporaneous within-state control group. Using this triple-differences design to control for unobserved effects that correlate with the passage of medical malpractice reform, we show that only caps on noneconomic damages have a statistically significant effect on the per capita number of doctors and that this effect is concentrated among only those specialties that face the highest litigation exposure.

“…The rate for 15-19-year-old girls was 10.0%, whereas the overall rate was for all women was 8.2%. Teens less than 15 years of age are at a particularly high risk, although such pregnancies are fairly rare (8)(9)(10).…”

Although pregnant adolescents are at high risk of poor birth outcomes, the majority of adolescents go on to have full-term, healthy babies. Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, a longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of adolescents in grades 7-12 in the United States who were surveyed from 1994-1995 through 2008, were used to examine the epidemiology of preterm birth and low birth weight within this population. Outcomes of pregnancies were reported by participants in the fourth wave of data collection (when participants were 24-32 years of age); data were compared between female participants who reported a first singleton livebirth at less than 20 years of age (n = 1,101) and those who were 20 years of age or older (n = 2,846). Multivariable modeling was used to model outcomes; predictors included demographic characteristics and maternal health and behavior.

“…This study corroborated the findings of Phipps et al, who evaluated the risk of infant mortality (defined as death within the first year after live birth) in a US birth cohort from the National Center for Health Statistics from 1995 to 1996. 71 The analysis included more than 700 000 single births. Of these births to women 12 through 19 years of age, there were 4631 infant deaths.…”

“…The risk of infant mortality was 1.6 (95% CI, 1.4-1.7) times greater for those with teen mothers younger than 15 years than for those with mothers 18 through 19 years old-a 56% greater risk. 71 Another study by Gilbert and associates 74 reported an increased risk of negative health outcomes for infants and adolescent parents. They examined birth and death certificates by using maternal and neonatal hospital discharge records of primiparous women (11-29 years of age) in California who delivered between January 1, 1992, and December 31, 1997.…”

Teen pregnancy and parenting remain an important public health issue in the United States and the world, and many children live with their adolescent parents alone or as part of an extended family. A significant proportion of teen parents reside with their family of origin, significantly affecting the multigenerational family structure. Repeated births to teen parents are also common. This clinical report updates a previous policy statement on care of the adolescent parent and their children and addresses medical and psychosocial risks specific to this population. Challenges unique to teen parents and their children are reviewed, along with suggestions for the pediatrician on models for intervention and care.
