Introduction and Training: Delaying the second pregnancy among teen mothers

Delaying The Second Pregnancy in Teen Mothers Project
The goals of the project are to help teen mothers to delay a second pregnancy, practice contraception correctly and consistently and to remain in and graduate from high school. An estimated one in five teenage mothers will get pregnant twice before reaching age 20 (Greer and Levin-Epstein, 1998).  In 2002, 21% of all births to mothers under the age of 20 were births to youth who already had a child (Klerman, 2004).  31% of births to mothers aged 16 or younger are followed by a second pregnancy within 24 months.
