title: Ameliorating the impact of teen-age pregnancy on parent and child.
abstract: The increase in teen-age pregnancy creates a growing population of young mothers unable to care adequately for themselves or their children. Responding to budget cuts in Utah, the authors report on a program that combines the resources of an agency and a university program to teach mothers child care and self-sufficiency, promotes the healthy development of their children, and gives field training to social work students.
