ABSTRACT

One third of all females in the United States become pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20 (National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, 2008). Pregnancy and parenting can have a dramatic impact on likely every facet of the daily life of a teenager, as well as on his or her long-term future. Reaching out to teens at risk for, during, and after pregnancy is therefore paramount and the educational setting is a prime arena for such interventions.
