十几岁就生育的女性与那些在生育前后推迟生育的女性不同。这些预先存在的差异可能解释了早期育儿在年轻成年时面临的不利后果。这项研究测试了品行障碍史、低智商和低教育程度以及低童年社会经济地位是否导致早期儿童在26岁时心理社会适应能力较差。研究成员是出生队列中的482名女性，其中26%的人在1999年26岁之前生育。研究结果支持这一假设，即个人和家庭背景因素部分解释了年轻母亲面临的不利的社会经济、心理健康和人际关系结果。然而，早育加剧了与这些风险因素相关的困难。
Women who give birth as teens differ from those who delay childbearing before and after a birth. These preexisting differences may account for the adverse outcomes faced by early childbearers in young adulthood. This study tested whether a history of conduct disorder, low IQ and educational attainment, and low childhood socioeconomic status accounted for poor psychosocial adjustment at age 26 among early childbearers. Study members were 482 women in a birth cohort, 26% of whom had given birth by age 26 in 1999. Findings supported the hypothesis that individual and family background factors partially accounted for the adverse socioeconomic, mental health, and interpersonal outcomes faced by young mothers. However, early childbearing exacerbated the difficulties associated with these risk factors.
