| Popis: | The sheer volume of qualitative research on teen mothering over three decades has generated numerous scientific reviews. This umbrella review synthesizes the findings of these reviews and describes the utility of this evidence for improving clinical practice and policy. A comprehensive search of six electronic databases performed through October 2019 yielded 17 articles from 15 independent reviews. Data were extracted and key findings were synthesized to yield the following paradox: mothering has the potential for transforming and redirecting teens’ lives in positive ways because of, and despite, difficult childhoods, constricted pathways to adulthood, fragile partner relationships, social inequities, and stigma. By bringing visibility to the paradox that teen mothering simultaneously transforms and imperils, this review extends the science on teen mothering and enhances the generalizability and utility of small-scale qualitative studies for reframing practice, policy, and behavioral interventions. |
