Child Welfare and/or Legal System Involved Pregnant/Parenting Youth Intervention: A Pretest–Posttest Study
Purpose: This pilot study examined the preliminary effectiveness of the Empowered Young Parents Program (EYPP) for child welfare and/or legal system involved pregnant, expectant, or parenting youth (PPY) in promoting health outcomes. Method: A one-group pretest–posttest ( N = 25) design was used to evaluate changes in the participants. Results: At posttest participants reported lower perceived stress, depressive symptoms, and experiences of intimate partner violence. They also reported a higher likelihood of having someone to talk to about reproductive healthcare. Discussion: The study suggests the EYPP may be an effective prevention service for supporting the needs of PPY and further rigorous trials are needed.
期刊介绍:
Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
