Introduction Young mothers’ families are at increased risk of child maltreatment and other poor health and social outcomes. Methods Young mothers’ families are at increased risk of child maltreatment and other poor health and social outcomes. Results Twenty-six percent of young mothers were 18 years or younger. Most (68% of teen-mother families and 57% of families with a young adult mother) received social assistance as their main source of income compared with 36% of families with a mother aged 22 years or older. Teen and young adult mothers were more likely than those aged 22 or older to have childhood histories of out-of-home care (31% and 23% vs. 10%) and were more likely to have risk factors such as alcohol abuse (25% and 23% vs. 18%) and few social supports (46% and 41% vs. 37%). Secondary caregivers in families with young mothers also had more risk factors. Teen and young adult mother families were more likely to have their child placed out-of-home during the investigation (29% and 27% vs. 17%). All were equally likely to be victims of domestic violence and to have mental health issues. Conclusion Within this sample of high-risk families, young mothers’ families were more at risk than comparison families. Mothers’ youth may be a useful criterion to identify families for targeted interventions.

Full textAbstract:
For many diagnosed mothers and their daughters, breast cancer is a shared experience. However, they struggle to talk about cancer. This is particularly true when the daughter is in adolescence or young adulthood, as they tend to be more avoidant, which is associated with poorer biopsychosocial outcomes. When daughters are their mother’s caregivers, daughters’ burden and distress are heightened. Young adult caregiving daughters (YACDs) are the second most common family caregiver and encounter more distress and burden than other caregiver types. Yet, YACDs and their diagnosed mothers receive no guidance on how to talk about cancer. Thirty-nine mother/YACD pairs participated in an online survey to identify challenging topics and strategies for talking about cancer, and to explore associations between openness/avoidance and psychosocial outcomes. YACDs and mothers reported the same challenging topics (death, treatment-related issues, negative emotions, relational challenges, YACDs’ disease risk) but differed on why they avoided the topic. YACDs and mothers identified the same helpful approaches to navigate conversations (openness, staying positive, third-party involvement, avoidance). Avoidance was correlated with more distress whereas openness was correlated with better psychosocial outcomes. These results provide a psychosocial map for a mother-YACD communication skills intervention, which is key to promoting healthy outcomes.

Abstract Understanding the needs and experiences of parents with intellectual disability (ID) and their children is critical to ensuring that policies can effectively support these families. This research analyzed data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study to examine the health outcomes of U.S. children whose mothers have (n = 263) and do not have ID (n = 1,298). Compared to mothers without ID, mothers with ID experienced worse outcomes related to socioeconomic status, limited support networks, and poor self-reported health. However, after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, mother's intellectual disability was not associated with a child having fair or poor health, asthma, or being overweight or obese.

With most current studies focusing on the snapshot of family structure and offspring relationship outcomes, this study examined how children’s exposure to mothers’ cumulative relationship history affected the likelihood of their own romantic involvement in adolescence and relationship frequency from adolescence to young adulthood. Using a large, nationally representative dataset, this study found that the number of mothers’ relationship transitions was positively associated with both the likelihood of romantic involvement among adolescent children and relationship frequency their children had from adolescence to young adulthood. Further, the association between mothers’ relationship transitions and young adults’ relationship frequency was mediated by mother-adolescent relationship closeness and young adults’ attitude towards marriage and relationships. Finally, an interaction between mother-adolescent relationship closeness and adolescent gender on young adults’ relationship frequency was found.

Introduction: Adolescent pregnancy is a worldwide common health problem bearing serious social and medical implications relating to maternal and child health. In Bangladesh, pregnancy among adolescent girls is high. Approximately 66% of women under 18 years old reporting a first birth.Objectives: We aimed to examine the obstetrical and neonatal outcomes of adolescent mother associated with first birth.Materials & Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was undertaken to compare the different socio-demographic characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of adolescent primigravida mothers with those of adult primigravida mothers in a tertiary-care hospital in Bangladesh. A sample of 61 adolescent mothers in cases and 61 adult mothers of comparison group comprised the study subjects. Data were collected through interviews and by observations using a predesigned schedule. Results: Results revealed that the adolescent mothers had a higher incidence (24.6%) of caesarian deliveries compared to 4.9% in the adult mother (OR: 6.304, 95% CI: 1.712-23.1, p=0.002). Term delivery was also higher 85.2% among adolescent group (OR: 2.82, 95% CI: 1.161-6.842, P=0.019). However, adult mother had greater incidence of postdated delivery (OR: 0.236, 95% CI: 0.073-0.764, P=0.011) and spontaneous onset of labor (OR: 0.442, 95% CI: 0.212-0.921, P=0.028). There was no significant difference found regarding neonatal outcomes like preterm, low birth weight, low APGAR score and NICU admission. Most of the adolescent mother are jobless in comparison to adult mother (p=0.015).Conclusion: Adolescent pregnancy is still a rampant and important public-health problem in Bangladesh with unfavorable pregnancy outcomes which can be overcome by creating awareness with quality antenatal, intranasal and postnatal care.

Full textAbstract:
For young children, maternal testimony is an important source of knowledge. Research suggests that children privilege assertions expressed with certainty; however, adults frequently overestimate their knowledge, which may lead them to express certainty about incorrect information. This study addressed three questions. (1) To what extent do mothers convey domain knowledge when talking to their kindergartners? (2) Do mothers successfully calibrate their knowledge during these conversations? (3) Does mothers’ knowledge calibration predict their children’s language outcomes? Forty-nine mother-child dyads read a picture book about a familiar domain. Mothers’ assertions of domain knowledge were coded for accuracy and expressed certainty. Results revealed that mothers tended to overestimate their knowledge. Knowledge calibration accuracy positively predicted child outcomes. Successful calibration was associated with stronger vocabulary knowledge and listening comprehension, whereas poor knowledge calibration was associated with weaker child outcomes. Knowledge calibration may be a crucial factor in the successful transmission of knowledge during mother-child conversations and impact children’s language development.

Background Adolescence Pregnancy is a social problem worldwide with serious implication of maternal and child health. This study purposed to compare the maternal and neonatal outcome of the teenage mothers (15- 19 years) with that of the young mothers (20-24 years) to determine if adolescent pregnancies have increased risk of adverse outcomes. Objectives This st udy aims to find out the outcomes of adolescent pregnancy at Kathmandu Univeristy Hospital, Dhulikhel Hospital, KAvre. Methods Descriptive cross sectional study was done. The study included all primiparous mothers of age 15-19 (n=168) and 20-24 (n=401) recorded in the delivery record book of Dhulikhel Hospital from June 2007 to May 2008. Chi-square test and relative risk (RR) for subgroups of study population was examined using the SPSS version 10.0. Results The low birth weight baby among teenage mothers and young mothers were 28% and 26.7% respectively (p=0.572). The Relative risk of low birth weight among adolescent is 1.1 (0.75-1.684) times to that of young mothers at 95% confidence interval. Preterm birth was not associated with adolescence pregnancy (7% Vs. 11.5%, p=0.141). Normal delivery was the common mode of delivery among both groups (77.4% Vs. 74.6%). Among the neonatal complication, newborns of adolescents had greater neonatal complications than newborns of the young mothers (17.2% Vs 16.7%). Maternal complication like antepartum hemorrhage (2.4% Vs. 1.7%) and postpartum hemorrhage (0.6% Vs. 0.2%) was higher among adolescents. ConclusionsLow birth weight, common neonatal complication, antepartum hemorrhage and postpartum hemorrhage are found more in adolescent group, however statistically insignificant.http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/kumj.v9i1.6263 Kathmandu Univ Med J 2011;9(1):50-3

Abstract Aims/hypothesis The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics and outcomes of pregnancies in a national cohort of teenage (<20 years) and young adult women (≥20 years) with and without childhood-onset (<15 years) type 1 diabetes. We hypothesised that, owing to poor glycaemic control during the teenage years, pregnancy outcomes would be poorer in teenage mothers with type 1 diabetes than young adult mothers with type 1 diabetes and mothers without diabetes. Methods The Brecon Register of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes diagnosed in Wales since 1995 was linked to population-based datasets in the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank, creating an electronic cohort (e-cohort) of legal births (live or stillbirths beyond 24 weeks’ gestation) to women aged less than 35 years between 1995 and 2013 in Wales. Teenage pregnancy rates were calculated based on the number of females in the same birth cohort in Wales. Pregnancy outcomes, including pre-eclampsia, preterm birth, low birthweight, macrosomia, congenital malformations, stillbirths and hospital admissions during the first year of life, were obtained from electronic records for the whole Welsh population. We used logistic and negative binomial regression to compare outcomes among teenage and young adult mothers with and without type 1 diabetes. Results A total of 197,796 births were eligible for inclusion, including 330 to girls and women with childhood-onset type 1 diabetes, of whom 68 were teenagers (age 14–19 years, mean 17.9 years) and 262 were young adults (age 20–32 years, mean 24.0 years). The mean duration of diabetes was 14.3 years (9.7 years for teenagers; 15.5 years for young adults). Pregnancy rates were lower in teenagers with type 1 diabetes than in teenagers without diabetes (mean annual teenage pregnancy rate between 1999 and 2013: 8.6 vs 18.0 per 1000 teenage girls, respectively; p < 0.001). In the background population, teenage pregnancy was associated with deprivation (p < 0.001), but this was not the case for individuals with type 1 diabetes (p = 0.85). Glycaemic control was poor in teenage and young adult mothers with type 1 diabetes (mean HbA1c based on closest value to conception: 81.3 and 80.2 mmol/mol [9.6% and 9.5%], respectively, p = 0.78). Glycaemic control improved during pregnancy in both groups but to a greater degree in young adults, who had significantly better glycaemic control than teenagers by the third trimester (mean HbA1c: 54.0 vs 67.4 mmol/mol [7.1% vs 8.3%], p = 0.01). All adverse outcomes were more common among mothers with type 1 diabetes than mothers without diabetes. Among those with type 1 diabetes, hospital admissions during the first year of life were more common among babies of teenage vs young adult mothers (adjusted OR 5.91 [95% CI 2.63, 13.25]). Other outcomes were no worse among teenage mothers with type 1 diabetes than among young adult mothers with diabetes. Conclusions/interpretation Teenage girls with childhood-onset type 1 diabetes in Wales are less likely to have children than teenage girls without diabetes. Teenage pregnancy in girls with type 1 diabetes, unlike in the background population, is not associated with social deprivation. In our cohort, glycaemic control was poor in both teenage and young adult mothers with type 1 diabetes. Pregnancy outcomes were comparable between teenage and young adult mothers with type 1 diabetes, but hospital admissions during the first year of life were five times more common among babies of teenage mothers with type 1 diabetes than those of young adult mothers with diabetes.

Objectives: The present study examined whether the experience of the arrest or incarceration of a mother's partner before a child reached 14 years of age was associated with use of cannabis in early adulthood and, if so, whether this association was confounded or mediated by other factors. Method: Data were from the Mater Hospital University of Queensland Study of Pregnancy, a prospective birth cohort study in Brisbane, Australia. The history of partner arrest and incarceration was reported by mothers at the 14 year follow up. Mothers were divided into four groups: mothers whose partner had no history of arrest or incarceration, mothers reporting partner arrest, mothers reporting partner incarceration, and unpartnered mothers. Young adults’ cannabis use was assessed at 21 years. Other covariates were prospectively measured between birth and 14 years. Results: After controlling for potential confounding and mediating factors, frequent use of cannabis at age 21 was more likely among young adults with a history of maternal partner arrest (odds ratio=2.3; 95% confidence interval: 1.4–3.8). There was no significant association between maternal partner incarceration or single motherhood, and cannabis use at age 21. Conclusions: Arrest of the mother's partner before the child is 14 is associated with that child's increased cannabis use at age 21 but this does not appear to be the case for children whose fathers have been imprisoned. It appears that for children whose fathers have been arrested, the father's ongoing presence in the family may result in worse outcomes for the child, including an increased risk of cannabis use in young adulthood.

Full textAbstract:
The present study examines how mothering and fathering impact child academic outcomes in divorced and intact families, and if there are unique influences of mothering and fathering variables for sons and daughters. An ethnically diverse sample of 1,714 university students from Florida International University (n=1371) and Florida State University (n=343) responded to measures on a questionnaire that included the Nurturant Fathering and Mothering Scales (Finley & Schwartz, 2004; Schwartz & Finley, 2005; Finley & Schwartz, 2006), the Mother and Father Involvement Scales (Finley, Mira, & Schwartz, 2008), demographic measures, and academic outcome measures. In intact families, mothering and fathering variables were significantly correlated with each other, and positively correlated with child academic outcomes including grades, GPA, academic satisfaction, and academic importance. In divorced families, mothering and fathering variables were not correlated with each other. Furthermore, when analyzing divorced families, significant effects were found for both parent and child gender. Mothering variables were found to have the greatest positive impact for sons’ academic outcomes. Maternal nurturance and maternal involvement were correlated positively with academic outcomes for sons from divorced families and accounted for 3-4% of the unique variance explained. Consistently, desired mother involvement, how much involvement the child wished they had received, was negatively correlated with academic outcomes for sons from divorced families and accounted for 10-15% of the unique variance explained. This means that when the amount of maternal involvement that sons in divorced families received matched or exceeded their desired level of involvement, sons had more positive academic outcomes including grades, GPA, satisfaction with academics and academic importance. This suggests that in intact family forms, nurturant and involved mothering and fathering have a positive effect on academic outcomes for sons and daughters. In divorced family forms, the effects of fathering on child academic outcomes were not significant. Therefore, in divorced families, the positive effects fathering on academic outcomes of sons and daughters drop out, and mothers are uniquely important for sons’ academic success.

With the development of the Social Inclusion Unit, the 1997 New Labour government committed themselves to a process of reintegrating and increasing the participation of marginalised groups within mainstream society. A major development produced by the unit has been their ‘Report on Teenage Pregnancy’ (1999a) reflecting a political and social agenda aimed at decreasing teenage conceptions and pregnancies. One way that the government has attempted to achieve these goals has been through disseminating social and political discourse outlining the social problems associated with teenage pregnancy and young motherhood. This has resulted in the development of social policies and programmes aimed at decreasing teenage pregnancy and encouraging young mothers to access social welfare programmes that will increase their participation in the labour market. However, as this study will demonstrate, by focusing mainly on labour market participation as the route to inclusion, New Labour has systematically ignored other barriers to social inclusion that are experienced by young mothers such as their age, gender and race, and a lack of recognition of their working-class culture. Another main aim of this study is to demonstrate how young mothers’ experiences of social exclusion are intensified through New Labour’s view of active citizenship, which emphasises participation in the labour market, education, training programmes, and volunteerism. However, as this study will argue, the young mothers who participated in this study regularly engaged in the responsibilities associated with active citizenship through fulfilling the responsibilities associated with mothering and participating in community based activities and politics that are connected to the welfare of their children. Yet, because the responsibilities and duties associated with mothering are rarely, if ever, associated with active citizenship, young mothers remain excluded from experiencing substantive citizenship status. It will be also argued that because young motherhood is viewed as a social problem, young mothers often carry out their mothering in the public sphere under the gaze of social work and other human service professionals. This points to a contradiction inherent in liberal notions of citizenship that suggest that although the raising of children is a duty worthy of social and political attention, young motherhood fails to be viewed as an activity associated with citizenship. Through juxtaposing social inclusion strategies and programme with in-depth interviews and participant observation sessions with twenty young mothers from a socially deprived community in Scotland, this study will demonstrate how government strategies have failed to recognise the various factors associated with becoming a young mother, and the ways in which the activities associated with young motherhood demonstrate acts of citizenship. As such, this study will argue that young mothers’ experiences of social exclusion may be exacerbated rather than alleviated by New Labour’s social exclusion policies and programmes and their view of what it means to be an active citizen.

Early motherhood is a much debated and highly contentious topic. This research aimed to explore young Pākehā women's experiences of motherhood using a feminist qualitative framework. Twelve women, six current young mothers and six former young mothers, were interviewed via focus groups and individual interviews. The analysis revealed that Pākehā culture constructs young mothers as problematic because they challenge the 'traditional' family dominant in Pākehā culture. By having children prior to, rather than after, workforce participation and achieving economic independence, young mothers challenge the prescribed life trajectory for Pākehā women. The women in this study discussed both the positive aspects and the challenges they faced as young mothers. In contrast to common public perceptions and media representations of early motherhood as negative, motherhood positively transformed the women's lives. This was discussed in terms of ceasing destructive activities and gaining motivation to return to education. The young mothers in this study had flexible parenting styles, which allowed them freedom from Pākehā cultural pressure to 'do motherhood' in a particular way. As young mothers, the women had high energy levels and anticipated early future freedom from childcare duties to pursue their dreams. Challenges discussed by the women included incorporating unanticipated early motherhood into long-held life goals, feeling exhausted, having a lack of time for themselves and having too little support. Financial hardship, poverty, judgment and stigma surfaced as major challenges which affected all areas of the women's lives. However, the women also resisted this discrimination by using a range of strategies, which positions them as women with agency, challenging their representation within literature as passive victims. Young women will not use services where they perceive they will be judged for being who they are. As levels of support appear to determine how young women experience motherhood, services have a vital role to play in supporting young mothers. The findings of this study highlighted the complex and contradictory nature of the young mothers' stories, presenting a challenge to simple and stereotypical negative discourses of early motherhood.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse examine la problématique de la maternité précoce en Guinée sur la période 1999-2018, à partir des données des Enquêtes Démographiques et de Santé (EDS). La maternité précoce, définie comme la grossesse et l’accouchement chez les adolescentes, représente un défi majeur pour la santé publique et le développement social, affectant à la fois les jeunes filles, leurs familles et la société guinéenne dans son ensemble. L’objectif central de cette recherche est d’analyser les niveaux et les tendances de ce phénomène, d’en identifier les déterminants sous-jacents et d’évaluer les répercussions à long terme sur les parcours de vie des mères adolescentes.Les résultats indiquent une diminution modérée de la fécondité précoce au cours des deux dernières décennies. Cependant, ce phénomène reste particulièrement répandu chez les adolescentes peu instruites, vivant en milieu rural et travaillant dans le secteur agricole, souvent issues de ménages défavorisés. Les principaux facteurs qui perpétuent la maternité précoce sont le mariage et la sexualité précoces, ainsi que le faible recours à la contraception moderne. D’autres variables, telles que l’ethnie, le niveau d’éducation, l’activité professionnelle, l’exposition aux médias, ainsi que la composition et la structure du ménage, influencent également ce phénomène. Les adolescentes Soussous et Malinkés, notamment celles victimes de mariages précoces, apparaissent comme les plus vulnérables. Contrairement aux perceptions courantes, la maternité précoce n’entrave pas systématiquement les perspectives matrimoniales à long terme. En effet, sauf en 2012, où le risque de monoparentalité a été plus élevé, les mères adolescentes se marient généralement sans difficultés particulières. Toutefois, la maternité précoce exerce une influence significative sur la fécondité, augmentant le nombre d’enfants chez les mères adolescentes. En ce qui concerne l’éducation et l’accès au marché du travail, les résultats montrent que la maternité précoce n’a pas d’impact majeur. Ces trajectoires sont plutôt déterminées par les normes culturelles, l’environnement social, et le niveau d’instruction des femmes. De plus, la maternité précoce ne mène pas nécessairement à la pauvreté, celle-ci étant davantage liée à d’autres facteurs socio-économiques et contextuels.Face à ces constats, plusieurs recommandations s’imposent pour limiter les conséquences négatives de la maternité précoce. Il est crucial de renforcer l’accès à l’éducation pour les filles, en particulier dans les zones rurales, de promouvoir activement l’utilisation de la contraception moderne, et de lutter contre les mariages précoces par des lois rigoureuses et des campagnes de sensibilisation auprès des communautés. L’autonomisation économique des adolescentes, ainsi que l’amélioration des infrastructures de santé, sont également essentielles pour réduire la prévalence de la maternité précoce et ses effets sur la fécondité, contribuant ainsi à un avenir plus équitable et prospère pour les jeunes filles guinéennesThis thesis examines the issue of early motherhood in Guinea from 1999 to 2018, based on data from the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS). Early motherhood, defined as pregnancy and childbirth among adolescents, presents a major challenge to public health and social development, affecting not only young girls but also their families and Guinean society as a whole. The primary aim of this research is to analyze the levels and trends of this phenomenon, identify its underlying determinants, and assess the long-term impacts on the life trajectories of adolescent mothers.The findings reveal a moderate decline in early fertility over the past two decades. However, the phenomenon remains particularly prevalent among poorly educated adolescents living in rural areas and working in agriculture, often from disadvantaged households. Key factors perpetuating early motherhood include early marriage and sexual activity, as well as limited use of modern contraception. Other variables, such as ethnicity, educational attainment, professional activity, media exposure, and household structure, also play significant roles. Adolescent girls from the Soussou and Malinké ethnic groups, particularly those subjected to early marriage, are among the most vulnerable. Contrary to common perceptions, early motherhood does not systematically hinder long-term marriage prospects. Except for the year 2012, when the risk of single motherhood was higher, adolescent mothers generally do not face significant barriers to marriage. However, early motherhood has a considerable impact on fertility, increasing the number of children born to adolescent mothers. In terms of education and access to the labor market, the results indicate that early motherhood does not have a major impact. Instead, life trajectories are shaped by cultural norms, social environments, and women’s educational levels. Additionally, early motherhood does not necessarily lead to poverty, which is more closely linked to other socio-economic and contextual factors.Given these findings, several recommendations are necessary to mitigate the negative effects of early motherhood. Strengthening girls’ access to education, particularly in rural areas, actively promoting the use of modern contraception, and combating early marriages through strict laws and community awareness campaigns are essential. Economic empowerment for adolescent girls, along with improved healthcare infrastructure, are also crucial to reducing the prevalence of early motherhood and its impact on fertility, thus contributing to a more equitable and prosperous future for young Guinean girls

Full textAbstract:
Inappropriate parental expectations of age-appropriate behaviors and unawareness of developmental milestones can increase instances of child maltreatment. Additionally, experiences of child maltreatment can have a negative impact on the developmental trajectory of a child. The present research describes a parental aide, the tDevelop, delivered to parents at risk for child maltreatment through SafeCare Parent-Child Interaction (PCI) training with the aim of increasing identification of developmental milestones and age-appropriate activities. Two high-risk families with children close to 24-months of age were recruited from a residential program for young mothers working to develop self-sufficiency skills. The families were presented with the tDevelop along with traditional PCI information, including Planned Activities Training and age-appropriate activities. Data from a multiple-probe, single-case experimental design, suggest that mothers are able to recognize developmental milestones with increased accuracy upon intervention with the tDevelop. These findings suggest that the enhanced PCI protocol may enhance parental identification of developmental milestones.

Full textAbstract:
The number of households headed by single mothers living in poverty exceeds that of all other categories of poverty-stricken households, and poverty impacts the children negatively in various ways. When single mothers choose not to continue their education, they lessen their chances of finding higher paying jobs and raising their families out of poverty. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to better understand why some single mothers decided to continue into higher education. The study considered the decisions of 6 single mothers of young children in Montgomery County, Texas, and the obstacles they overcame while completing their education. The women were recruited from a co parenting workshop using snowball sampling. The inclusion criteria included single mothers of children ages 0-10 years old and who obtained a degree or specialized certificate. The conceptual framework was based on Bandura's concept of self-efficacy and Carspecken's critical theory. Interviews were used with the 6 women to collect data that were then transcribed, compared, coded, and thematically analyzed. Emergent themes included overcoming obstacles, receiving help from others, acting as their children's role models, dealing with the impact of the father's absence, and receiving motivation from their own parents. The social significance of this research is that it illuminates the problem of poverty among single female-headed households and increases the understanding of why some single mothers decide to continue into higher education.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractHaving a job is an important indicator of economic and social wellbeing, and two-earner families are becoming the norm rather than the exception. As a result, many more women, including mothers, are in the labour force now than ever before. Balancing family and work responsibilities therefore becomes ever more important, not just for women but also men who are sharing the caring load with their partners, especially when young pre-school children are present. However, employment is not equally distributed across families, and some families have noone in a job which leads to financial vulnerability. Even one-earner families that depend on a low-skilled, low-wage earner may struggle to get by and provide their children with the opportunities to succeed in life and achieve mental, physical and financial wellbeing. This may lead to the intergenerational transmission of disadvantage and poor outcomes from parents to children. Gender inequality and ongoing inequalities relating to gender divisions in work and family may lead to women being particularly vulnerable in terms of earnings capacity and retirement savings when a relationship ends. One-parent families are specifically at risk as they often have no partner with whom to share the care-taking role, making work-family balance difficult to achieve. In this chapter we review the Australian evidence on these issues and provide policy implications.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Every year, around 14 million women and girls aged 15 to 19 (both married and unmarried) give birth. This age group might lead to negative outcomes of pregnancy and childbirth. This scoping review aimed to identify the outcomes of adolescent pregnancy and its contributing factors. Subjects and Method: A scoping review method was conducted in eight stages including (1) Identification of study problems; (2) Determining priority problem and study question; (3) Determining framework; (4) Literature searching; (5) Article selection; (6) Critical appraisal; (7) Data extraction; and (8) Mapping. The research question was identified using population, exposure, and outcome(s) (PEOS) framework. The search included Wiley Online Library, EBSCO, ProQuest, and PubMed databases. The inclusion criteria were English-language and full-text articles published between 2009 and 2019. A total of 307 articles were obtained by the searched database. After the review process, seven articles were eligible for this review. The data were reported by the PRISMA flow chart. Results: Six articles from developing countries (Brazil, Mexico, Zambia, Malawi, and Romania) and one report from developed countries (Australia) met the inclusion criteria with qualitative, quantitative (cross-sectional), and descriptive studies. The existing studies stated that adolescent pregnancy had adverse effects on both mother and babies’ health and well-being. Young maternal age is associated with low parity, lack of prenatal care, premature, and low birth weight. Factors contributed to the increased adolescent pregnancy rate were early sexual initiation, low use of contraception, low educational level, low socioeconomic status, inadequate knowledge about sexual and reproductive health, and gender disparity. Conclusion: Young maternal age contributes to adverse pregnancy outcomes of both mothers and babies. Early sexual health education and health promotion on teenage girls may reduce the risk of adolescent pregnancy rates.

Full textAbstract:
Proper nutrition during pregnancy, lactation, and early childhood helps to prevent micronutrient deficiencies for mothers and children. Improved maternal nutrition during pregnancy has been associated with improved birth outcomes and minimized risk of pregnancy-related complications. Poor nutrition during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of preeclampsia, anemia, hemorrhage, and death in mothers. In addition, poor nutrition status of mothers leads to stillbirth, wasting, low birth weight, and delayed developmental milestones in children. Mothers are the source of many generations. Thus, their nutrition status predominantly influences the nutrition status of the forthcoming generations. Given the sensitivity of maternal, infant, and young children nutrition services, the government of Kenya, in partnership with international agencies such as UNICEF and WHO, has developed policies and guidelines to ensure the well-being of this key population. These guidelines and policies address malnutrition, exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding, health education and counseling, access to healthcare, food security, and policy coordination and implementation. Although Kenya has come a long way in implementing these policies, there appear to be several gaps in the promotion and application of these policies. Kenya is still struggling with potential gaps in maternal and infant nutrition policies in Kenya including limited coverage of nutrition counseling and support to pregnant women, inadequate focus on preconception nutrition, inadequate support for exclusive breastfeeding, poor integration of nutrition into maternal and child health programs, inadequate coverage of complementary feeding programs especially to children above 24 months of age, poor monitoring and evaluation of systems to examine the effectiveness of various maternal, infant and young children practices. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic increased the uncertainties in the application of nutrition guidelines in maternal nutrition. In particular, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated misperceptions in antenatal nutrition practices, breastfeeding practices, and complementary feeding. These misperceptions persist three years after the onset of the pandemic, thus adding to the existing gaps in the country’s maternal, infant, and young child nutrition policies. Within this context, the proposed study will explore the present gaps in Kenya’s maternal, young, and infant child feeding policies post-COVID-19 era and suggest sound recommendations to address these gaps effectively.

Full textAbstract:
Improving maternal, infant and young child nutrition (MIYCN) is a crucial global public health priority. Adequate nutrition during the early stages of life plays a fundamental role in ensuring optimal growth, development and long term health outcomes. This abstract examines the significance of education and counselling interventions in promoting optimal nutrition for mothers, infants and young children. Study objectives were to assess MIYCN knowledge and practices among caregivers, identify barriers to effective MIYCN education and counselling among community health assistants (CHA’s) and document recommendations for enhancing MIYCN training and counselling in Kisumu West. A qualitative study was conducted within Kisumu West sub-county of Kisumu County, based on 4 focus group discussions with caregivers of young children below 36 months (n=40) and in-depth interviews with community health volunteers (n=8). Focus group transcripts were coded independently and the same coding process and thematic analysis were applied to the in-depth interviews. Caregivers identified 3 domains influencing the outcome of MIYCN to be the health care provider counselling, support from family and community members and food safety knowledge and practices. CHA’s identified barriers to MIYCN provider training as well as caregiver counselling which included limited access to financial and counselling resources and limited qualified staff to deliver infant and young child feeding counselling. CHA’s strongly recommended incorporating culturally appropriate and context-specific approaches and engaging multiple stakeholders such as community leaders, village elders and male partners as effective strategies to enhance MIYCN. The successful implementation of MIYCN requires a comprehensive approach that addresses sociocultural factors, ensure sustainable support systems and foster collaboration among stakeholders.

Full textAbstract:
There is paucity of knowledge on the influence of farming systems, a proxy for contextualizing communitybased food networks, and sociocultural perspectives necessary for creating impactful nutritional programs and policies for young children from infancy to early childhood in Kenya and their mothers, especially in Kenya. This study sought to evaluate nutrient intakes of young children and their mothers from Pastoral, Agro-pastoral and Mixed farming system in Kenya.Mothers and their child were recruited from households in Narok south as part of the Animal Health Innovation Study. One day Multiple pass 24-h dietary recall was completed for a sample of infants 6-11months, and toddlers aged 12 to 48 months (n = 161), and women of reproductive age (15-49 years) (n = 161) via face-to-face interviews with the primary caregiver. Nutrient intakes were estimated using CS Dietary Software and compared with the Adequate Intakes, Recommended Dietary Allowance and/or Estimated Average Requirement.The mean intake of key nutrients varied across farming systems. Children aged 6-11 months, met the Adequate Intake and Recommended Dietary Allowance levels for protein and Vitamin A. However, deficiencies were noted in thiamine, vitamin C, vitamin B6, selenium, and niacin across different farming systems, with insufficient Iron intake, particularly in pastoral and agro-pastoral systems (3mg/d vs.7 mg/d and 5 mg/d vs. 7 mg/d respectively. Folate intake was significantly lower in pastoral and mixed farming systems, with levels below the recommended 100 μg dfe/d. Calcium intake was sufficient across all farming systems, while phosphorus intake was consistently below the AI of 180 mg/d in children aged 12-48 months. In the mixed farming group, intake exceeded the Recommended Nutrient Intake for calcium, while phosphorus intake remained low across all age groups in agro-pastoral and mixed farming systems. Magnesium intake fell below AI levels in all groups (<65AI). Among women of reproductive age (15-49 years), the agro-pastoral group exhibited the highest carbohydrate intake, while the mixed farming group had the highest protein intake (51.07±6.5). Women met vitamin A recommendations, with zinc, iron, and selenium intake felling below the Adequate Intake in all groups. To address nutritional disparities and improve overall health outcomes and well-being for children and mothers in diverse agricultural settings in Kenya, it is important to prioritize an understanding sociocultural contexts and/or regional variations in designing and implementation of targeted interventions.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The shift in women’s fertility and birth rate to the higher age is characterized as the most significant feature of reproductive behaviour over the past decades in the Czech Republic (and in other developed countries). The trend of the so-called delayed or late pregnancy/motherhood/parenthood is determined by polyfactorial influences with possible risk impacts on the biomedical and psychosocial aspects of the health of mothers, fathers, children and society as such. In 2020, the following project was implemented: 50/2020/PPZ/OKD In Time – responsible, erudite, planned and prepared parenthood – The shaping and development of health literacy in the area of reproductive health among young adults (university students). The project was supported by the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic and the Faculty of Education, Palacký University Olomouc. The outcomes of the project are of both educational and research nature. Method(s): The Research on the cognitive and affective dimensions of young adults in the area of early pregnancy/parenthood involving a sample of 844 student respondents from 14 universities in the Czech Republic evaluated the level of knowledge of health literacy with an emphasis on the general area of sexual and reproductive health as well as the specific area of possible risks associated with delayed/late pregnancy/parenthood. The research also focused on the personality and attitude dimensions of young adults in the context of delayed and late pregnancy. Results: In a specific area of sexual and reproductive health, the level of knowledge was problematic, sometimes even insufficient. An alarming fact is the complete lack of knowledge concerning the probability of conception during a single ovulation cycle of a young woman (18–30 years). Surprisingly, the correct answer was identified by less than 2% of female university students. The complete set of results of the research is published in the monograph In Time: The cognitive and affective dimensions of young adults in relation to pregnancy and parenthood. Conclusions: The unfavourable level of health literacy concerning early pregnancy/parenthood may have a negative effect on the affective and behavioural dimension of young adults and support the 63 manifestations of possible bio-psycho-social risks and complications resulting from the trends of shifting motherhood/parenthood to higher age bands. It is thus necessary to educate the young generation by means of adequate didactic procedures in order for them to be able to make informed decisions about whether and when to have a child.

Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND AND AIMS International guidelines on infant feeding in emergencies advise protecting, promoting, and supporting breastfeeding (BF) for all infants in these settings. The re-establishment of exclusive BF (EBF) is also a central part of the management of acutely malnourished infants under six months old. More evidence on the feasibility, acceptance, and impact of BF promotion and support during emergencies is needed. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) runs a nutrition project in Maiduguri, a protracted emergency setting in North-East Nigeria. This study aimed to explore caregivers' (CGs) and health workers' (HWs) experiences and perceptions of BF practice, promotion, and support. METHODS We conducted a qualitative study using in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and non-participant observations. Participants included CGs of young infants enrolled in MSF nutritional programmes or reached during health promotion activities in a displacement camp. MSF HWs were involved at different levels in BF promotion and support. Data was collected involving a local translator and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis directly from audio recordings. [Download full PDF for more information on participants.] RESULTS Data shows how BF practices are strongly influenced by family and community. BF is common, although EBF for the first six months remains suboptimal. Frequent perception of breastmilk insufficiency, leading to early supplementary feeding, is associated with poor maternal nutrition, stress, and inadequate BF practice, in a context shaped by displacement and food insecurity. Yet, EBF seems to increase over time, due to growing access to BF promotion. The provision of comprehensive in-patient care generally leads to acceptance and positive outcomes of BF support. The achievement of EBF may be reversed after discharge if CGs lack an enabling environment for BF. CONCLUSIONS When designing promotion and support strategies, BF should be understood as an embodied experience shaped by socio-cultural and contextual factors. More emphasis should be placed on the follow-up and management of nutritionally at-risk mothers and infants in the community.

ABSTRACT Background: Young mothers go through the transitional stages of becoming parent and adult simultaneously. This poses a breastfeeding challenge that older mother does not encounter. The coverage of breastfeeding in young mothers was lower and the average duration of breastfeeding was shorter than that of adult mothers. The study aimed to review experience of breastfeeding in young mothers. Subjects and Method: A scoping review framework were adapted from Arksey and O’Malley method. It consists of five stages: 1) Identify research questions, 2) Identify relevant articles, 3) Select studies, 4) Comply data, 5) Summarize and report results. The inclusion criteria were original research, published from 2009-2019, and in English language. The exclusion criteria were randomized controlled trial study, reviewed articles, and reports or books. The quality of the article was assessed using Hawker’s Quality Assessment Tool and reported by PRISMA flowchart. Results: Eleven articles were selected from 562. The experience of breastfeeding in young mothers has been described in three mains thematic: (1) Mother decision to breastfeed were more self-centered, (2) The success of breastfeeding was supported by many factors, including feeling comfortable while breastfeeding, family and peer support, knowledge of breastfeeding benefits, and support from health workers, and (3) Obstacles during breastfeeding such as mothers feeling confined, community responses, worries about food consumption, have many roles, the assumption that babies are more satisfied with formula milk, physical discomfort, and inadequate response from health workers. Conclusion: Experience of breastfeeding in young mothers is influenced by three aspects: 1) Decision making to breastfeed, 2) Factors that support the implementation of breastfeeding, and 3) Constraints during breastfeeding.

ABSTRACT Background: Postpartum period is a happy period at the same time crucial for a woman and her entire family. Especially young mothers, because they are simultaneously faced with the demands of caring for their babies and experience the physical, emotional, and social changes that occur. Health problems and maternal psychological stress can impact the interaction between mother, baby, spouse, family, and the development of children both in the short and long term. The aim of the scoping review is to review the evidence relating to the perspective of young mothers on early postpartum. Subjects and Method: This was a scoping review were young mothers in the early postpartum period, and the method used was adapted from Arskey and O’malley. Search for relevant articles through 4 databases, namely PubMed, Science Direct, Wiley, and Grey Literature through Google Scholar published from 2009-2019, a type of qualitative research. Results: From the search results through 4 databases, 258 articles were obtained, then after selecting relevant articles and conducting a critical appraisal, seven relevant articles were obtained, and it was found that the perspective of young mothers in the early postpartum period experienced several obstacles, both from meeting nutritional needs, physical changes, and baby care, family planning, economy and stigma. From a psychological perspective, mothers have positive (happy, ready to become mothers) and negative (anxiety, sadness, unpreparedness and emotional instability) coping in this period. In addition, support from partners, families and health workers is needed by young mothers during this period. Conclusion: Young mothers in the early postpartum period need high social support to prepare mother physically, psychologically, and socially. There is a need for more in-depth research regarding the conditions and psychology of young mothers in this period to provide recommendations for improving the health and well-being of young mothers and babies.

Full textAbstract:
Background to the study This report draws on analyses of the two cohorts of the Growing Up in Ireland (GUI) study to examine trends in the prevalence of disability among 13-year-olds over the decade 2011/2012 to 2021/2022. The report looks at changes over time in the size and composition of those with a long-lasting condition (LLC) or disability, at the presence of socio-emotional difficulties and/or depressive symptoms among these groups, and at a range of adolescent outcomes. The prevalence of long-lasting conditions and disability The prevalence of disability is highly dependent on the definitions and measures used. As a result, changes in the measures used in GUI between cohorts, and between survey waves within cohorts, make it challenging to provide comparable estimates of the level and nature of disability over time. Nonetheless, GUI data offer the most comprehensive information on the experience of disability among young people in Ireland. In this report, a distinction is drawn between young people with a long-lasting condition or illness who are not hampered by that condition (termed ‘non-hampered LLC’) and the group of young people who are hampered, at least to some extent, by that condition, for whom we use the term disability. Based on mother reports, the proportion of 13-year-olds with any LLC has increased from 24 per cent for Cohort ’98 to 36 per cent for Cohort ’08. The proportion of the total cohort who had received at least one diagnosis of a condition or disability grew from 16 per cent for Cohort ’98 to 31 per cent for Cohort ’08. The group with a disability (i.e. those who are hampered by a condition) increased from 6 per cent for Cohort ’98 to 23 per cent for Cohort ’08. This estimate is higher than figures from Census 2022, which used a different definition and where 14 per cent of 13-year-olds were reported to have a disability. The GUI data show a growth in the prevalence of disability and LLCs among all social groups over the period, though a shift in the gender composition is evident, with girls now as likely as boys to have an LLC or disability. Changes in the classification of types of conditions, and small numbers in several groups, make it difficult to identify which particular conditions are driving the overall increase. Among those with an LLC, there is an increase in both respiratory and behavioural difficulties, the largest groups, over time. The increase is particularly marked for behavioural difficulties, growing from 1 to 17 per cent between cohorts at age 13. Respiratory problems increased but to a much lower level – from 3 to 5 per cent. Focusing on those with a disability only (that is, those who are hampered by that condition), the proportion with an emotional/behavioural difficulty has increased from 1.1 per cent of the total cohort in Cohort ’98 to 13.5 per cent in Cohort ’08. Disability, health and wellbeing Mothers were asked about the general health of their children, distinguishing between those who were very healthy and those who had at least some health problems. In both cohorts, health problems are more prevalent among those with an LLC or disability. Health problems are particularly prevalent among those with a disability but it should be noted that around four in ten of those who are hampered by a disability are not reported to have health problems. Socio-emotional difficulties have increased over time among those with a disability, indicating no diminution of need among the group. In addition, depression scores are found to have increased over time for girls with a disability. In contrast, those who have an LLC but are not hampered by it have become more like the non-LLC/disability group over time in their mental health and wellbeing. This suggests that there may now be greater identification of LLCs that do not generally hamper the lives of young people. Disability and adolescent outcomes Clear differences in adolescent outcomes at age 13 by disability status are evident: young people with an LLC or disability have more conflictual relationships with their parents, smaller peer networks, greater difficulties interacting with peers, less involvement in organised sports and more negative attitudes to school compared to their peers. Across most of the outcomes explored, there remains a substantial gap between those with a disability and those without an LLC/disability in the younger cohort. However, for several of these outcomes, the difference between those with an LLC who are not hampered by it and those without an LLC/disability narrows over time. Growing numbers of people with an LLC or disability may reflect greater identification of conditions over time or greater need among the population. The findings on wellbeing and other outcomes suggest that both factors are at play. Those not hampered by their condition (non-hampered LLC) come to more closely resemble those without any condition over time in their outcomes, suggesting increased identification of certain conditions. At the same time, however, there is evidence of growing need among those described as having a disability, with increased socio-emotional difficulties and (among girls) depression levels. Implications for policy The study findings point to a significant growth over time in the proportion of 13-year-olds reported to have an LLC or disability. This has consequences for the supports required to enable full inclusion. The most commonly reported difficulties among those with a disability now relate to physical impairment and difficulties learning, remembering or concentrating, with these impairments having different implications in terms of the resources and supports required. There has been a good deal of policy development in relation to provision for children and young people with a disability, including a greater focus on assessment of need in the early years, a change in the funding allocation model to schools to address special educational needs (SEN), and the marked growth of special classrooms in mainstream schools. While there is now much greater recognition of the need for more inclusive practice, the findings point to a number of areas for further policy development, spanning the areas of education, health, family support and recreational facilities. These include but are not limited to: the targeting of parenting supports towards families of children and teenagers with a disability to help reduce levels of parent–child conflict; school-based efforts to promote social integration with peers and to facilitate improved school engagement; and inclusive practice in out-of-school sport.

Full textAbstract:
This paper summarizes the published Cochrane Review, “Non-pharmacological Care for Opioid Withdrawal in Newborns,” by A. Pahl, L. Young, M. E. Buus-Frank, L. Marcellus, and R. Soll (https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD013217.pub2), and discusses it through a treatment policy and practice lens. The study population in the review included infants born at term (37 weeks’ gestation or greater) and late preterm (34 weeks’ gestation to 37 weeks’ gestation) who had a known or suspected prenatal exposure to opioids or who were exhibiting symptoms consistent with opioid withdrawal in the first 7 days of life. Nonpharmacological interventions included a wide range of care and were broadly categorized as: modification of environmental stimulation, feeding practices, and support of the mother-infant dyad. The review found that randomized controlled trials, identified in searches conducted in October 2019, did not provide enough evidence regarding clinically meaningful outcomes. However, recently published trial data suggest that “Eat, Sleep, Console,” an individualized, trauma-informed, family-centered nonpharmacological approach to care, can reduce the number of days an infant experiencing symptoms consistent with opioid withdrawal requires in-hospital care.

Full textAbstract:
This study employs an event study methodology to analyze the overall impact of childbirth, as well as the birth of a child with a disability, on the labor market outcomes of mothers and fathers. We use an annual panel of Chilean labor outcomes based on administrative data from pension and unemployment insurance, as well as data from the National Disability Registry in Chile. The findings reveal a significant gender gap associated with childbirth, which more than doubles in the presence of childhood disability: four years after childbirth, the gender gap in employment increases from 15% to 36% when the child has a disability. Specifically, childhood disability leads to parental specialization, creating an intra-gender gap. Mothers of children with disabilities experience poorer labor market outcomes than mothers of children without disabilities; four years after childbirth, these mothers are 15% less likely to be employed than other mothers. Conversely, fathers of children with disabilities tend to have higher labor market engagement than fathers of children without disabilities. These findings underscore the importance of caregiving policies, both in general and specifically for families of children with disabilities.

Full textAbstract:
Access to suitable and affordable childcare is a prerequisite for labour force participation for many mothers. We use data from the Growing Up in New Zealand longitudinal study to investigate how lack of access to childcare affects mothers’ work in New Zealand, a nation with high-quality but expensive childcare. We find many mothers whose young children are not in childcare due to a lack of access report being prevented from working by childcare access issues. However, just over a fifth of mothers whose children are not in care due to access issues do work, and some mothers whose children are in care still report they are unable to work due to childcare issues. By combining information on mothers’ work status and reasons for not working with earnings data for working mothers of young children, we estimate New Zealand mothers with children under age three who are not working only because they can’t access childcare may be foregoing $116 million or more of wages each year.
