title: Childbearing among daughters of parents with HIV.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To examine first childbearing and its predictors among daughters of parents with HIV.
  
  
  METHODS
  Pairs of parents with HIV and their adolescent daughters (n = 181) participated in a randomized, controlled-intervention trial designed to improve coping skills within the family, and were monitored up to 7 years.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Overall, daughters of HIV parents had a high rate of early childbearing compared to national and local rates. First childbearing tended to be delayed by (a) being in a coping intervention, (b) being less emotionally distressed, (c) receiving academic counseling, and (d) having a positive perception of their family's finances.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  HIV has a negative intergenerational impact, particularly on depressed young people, which may be buffered by interventions enhancing coping and academic counseling.
