Describe three social, psychological, or biological factors known to be correlated with teen pregnancy. Then, discuss how these factors may interrelate with one another in influencing prenatal care
What will be an ideal response?
Students' responses to this essay could focus on a number of factors, including low income, poor education, social isolation, drug and alcohol use, and lack of early prenatal care. Students may also include the concern that young women may not be biologically ready to carry a pregnancy to full term because they have only recently started menstruating. After identifying three factors that are correlated with teen pregnancy, the students should briefly discuss examples of how these factors may interrelate. One example may include how a lack of education may influence both the level of poverty and a teenager's understanding of the need for good prenatal care. A second example could include how social isolation may be related to drug and alcohol abuse, which may be related to employment.
