Missouri Volunteer Resource Mothers: A Community-Based Mentoring Program for Pregnant and Parenting Adolescents was evaluated from 1994 through 1997. The results are compiled in this easy to follow research report. Surveys of teens, focus groups with teens, interviews with mentors, and analysis of contacts between mentors and participating adolescent mothers were used to evaluate the program. This report demonstrates how the program can reduce child abuse, prevent repeat pregnancies and reduce parenting stress.
A training manual and video are also available to provide the basic resources needed to begin a mentoring program for pregnant and parenting teens.
