The Relationship Experiences of Pregnant or Parenting Adolescent Women Study Grant uri icon

abstract

  • The overall goal of this study is to advance our understanding of reproductive coercion among female adolescents (14-19 years of age) who are currently pregnant or parenting. The study will build upon prior research conducted by this team through a pilot study among adolescent and young adult women (n= 73) that found a prevalence of almost 8% (unpublished data). Reproductive coercion (RC) will be measured with 13 questions from existing RC questionnaires found in the literature and embedded within a larger, self-administered questionnaire that addresses perceived relationship experiences to control for bias in the responses.
