title: A conceptual model of incarcerated adolescent fatherhood: adolescent identity development and the concept of intersectionality.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Little is known about teen fathers though they are found to be disproportionately represented among incarcerated youth. SOURCE USED: This article is developed from a qualitative pilot study of adolescent fathers in the justice system.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The authors theorize about teen fathers and the process by which they accept, reject, or are "barriered" from a father identity and role.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Adolescence as a developmental period during which an identity is forming is viewed in concert with the concept of hegemonic masculinity and the concept of intersectionality. Risk factors in childhood and adolescence complete the conceptual model through which incarcerated adolescent fathers can be examined.
