This landmark study traces the life histories of approximately 300 teenage mothers and their children over a seventeen-year period. It provides a vivid account of the impact of early childbearing on young mothers and their children. This study will be an invaluable resource for all those interested in teenage pregnancy.

Considered separately, the individual chapters in this book include important contributions to our growing knowledge of the biological mechanisms involved in pubertal onset and subsequent changes, as well as of the psychological and social aspects of these changes, both as con sequences and determinants.
