Annotation: To develop preventive intervention strategies to address the serious social problem of adolescent pregnancy in the United States, it is important that its antecedents be understood and that those adolescents at risk for early childbearing be identified. There is a great deal of research on the correlates of adolescent pregnancy, but the conclusions that can be drawn are limited because of methodological shortcomings. This research specified an explanatory model of adolescent pregnancy risk. Six hypothesized profiles, based upon the model, were tested. A comprehensive assessment of demographic, social, and psychological variables shown in past research to be associated with adolescent pregnancy were conducted.
