title: Like mother, like daughter: a general practice study of maternal influences on teenage pregnancy.
abstract: This study confirmed the hypothesis that pregnant teenagers in the 1990s are more likely to have a mother who had a teenage pregnancy than non-pregnant teenagers. It also found that the daughters of teenage mothers are more likely to continue their own pregnancies.
