Abstract. Objectives To determine the impact on teenage pregnancy of interventions that address the social disadvantage associated with early parenthood and to assess the appropriateness of such interventions for young people in the United Kingdom.

Low educational attainment among teen mothers affects their economic opportunities and earnings in later years.
