Notes:
Group meetings, commonly used in prenatal care, took a different form in a project conducted in North Florida with rural, adolescent, black mothers. Discussions focused on the expressed interests of mothers who retained identification with their babies. The article describes their behaviors and cognitive patterns, provides insights into the concerns of mothers, and indicates that their needs are related to both adolescence and motherhood. It further suggests that loosely structured groups might be one method of approaching their health-related concerns. Adolescent parenthood is becoming an important concern in adolescent health cure; this article provides information concerning single, adolescent mothers and methods of dealing with their social and health-related concerns.
