在美国，低收入或少数民族人口往往比更多的人更早出生。在弱势群体中，可能对早产施加压力的一个因素是“风化”，或普遍的健康不确定性。对健康的主观看法与生育时间有关吗？利用一个小样本的密集采访与十几岁的母亲是，我认为，低收入的非洲裔美国青少年可能会预期不确定的健康和寿命短。在家庭经济和照料系统以亲属网络为基础的地方，这种观念可能会影响成为年轻母亲的决定。启发式类型学的方式，社会上的知识可能有助于生育时间的做法复制对比贫困的非洲裔美国人受访者，工人阶级的白色受访者，和中产阶级的青少年谁通常推迟生育的经验。
In the United States, low-income or minority populations tend toward earlier births than the more advantaged. In disadvantaged populations, one factor that may exert pressure toward early births is ''weathering,'' or pervasive health uncertainty. Are subjective perceptions of health related to fertility timing? Drawing on a small sample of intensive interviews with teenage mothers-to-be, I suggest that low-income African American teenagers may expect uncertain health and short lifespans. Where family economies and caretaking systems are based on kin networks, such perceptions may influence the decision to become a young mother. Heuristic typologies of ways socially situated knowledge may contribute to the reproduction of fertility timing practices contrast the experiences of poor African American interviewees, working class white interviewees, and middle-class teens who typically postpone childbearing.
