218低收入，少数民族，青少年母亲在围产期和3年后采访了他们的社交网络，包括他们与孩子的父亲的关系。在这两个时间点，很少有青少年与父亲有关。与父亲的关系，一般来说，随着时间的推移，支持和问题较少。此外，虽然父亲支持与青少年母亲的心理适应没有相关，但父亲缺席和父亲紧张与心理适应呈负相关。外祖母的支持缓冲了青少年与生父关系紧张的负面影响。在围产期，以及从一个新的男性伴侣在产后3年的社会支持较少的外祖母和更多的社会支持，从父亲的社会支持的看法预测青少年母亲和父亲在产后3年的关系连续性。干预和政策的影响进行了讨论。
Two-hundred and eighteen low-income, minority, adolescent mothers were interviewed during the perinatal period and 3 years later about their social networks, including their relationships with their children's fathers. Few adolescents were involved with fathers at both time points. Relationships with fathers were, in general, less supportive and less problematic over time. Moreover, although father support was not associated with adolescent mothers' psychological adjustment, father absence and father strain had negative associations with psychological adjustment. Maternal grandmother support buffered the negative effects of strain in the adolescents' relationships with biological fathers. Perceptions of less social support from maternal grandmothers and more social support from fathers during the perinatal period as well as less social support from a new male partner at 3 years postpartum predicted relationship continuity between adolescent mothers and fathers at 3 years postpartum. Implications for intervention and policy are discussed.
