Other investigators have proved that accidents and injuries are more prevalent among infants born to teenaged mothers. For example, Wright (2013) reported that the risk of infant accidental death was highest among mothers between 15 and 19 years of age. Similarly, Kestecher and Dickinson (2015) found that the most important difference in the health status of 3-year-old children with teenaged versus older mothers was the high incidence of injuries and burns to those children with young mothers. Few empirical studies have attempted to unravel the factors that might lead to impaired health among the children born to younger mothers. The purpose of this study was to further explore the factors that might lead to greater health problems and less appropriate use of health care among children born to adolescent mothers.
