A sample of 130 pregnant adolescents and adolescent mothers was surveyed to determine the factors that discriminate between girls who become pregnant in early versus late adolescence. The younger group had begun dating and particularly steady dating at a significantly earlier age than the older group. Fewer of the younger group used birth control measures, and both groups used birth control only sporadically. Pregnancy created more dependence upon their mothers for the younger adolescents. © 1983 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
