Each year, 30 percent of all babies in the U.S. are born into families where the father is absent, and approximately 40 percent of American children live in homes in which their fathers do not live.

Adolescent pregnant and parenting programs have primarily focused on serving teen mothers because they are seen as being the primary caregivers and nurturers of children.

One strategy that seems to be very effective is to use male program staff to recruit, train and provide services to teen fathers.

Meetings may take place during school hours and/or be scheduled before or after school, at night or on weekends.

The goals of parenting education services are to enhance the knowledge, ability, and confidence of parents to raise children in positive and authoritative ways.

In 1998, CICC consolidated everything it had learned about helping parents and communities into comprehensive projects to provide all parents in a designated community with the best education, training, and support.

More specifically, Effective Parenting Campaigns were begun in six Southern California counties, including Los Angeles County.

The two projects take place in the San Fernando Valley and Antelope Valley of Los Angeles County.

Ongoing evaluation has taken place throughout the program to determine the needs and modifications (i.e., formative evaluation, Ayers, 1989) to the Effective Parenting Campaign.

Adolescent pregnancy is a complex issue requiring prevention and intervention strategies at all stages of a child's and adolescent's life.

In order to address adolescent pregnancy prevention, pregnancy care and parenting in a comprehensive manner, Minnesota policies should support collaborative initiatives that effectively promote personal responsibility, ensure academic completion, and lead to long-term self-sufficiency.

Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy: Minnesota policies and programs must target resources and services to communities and populations with highest rates of teen pregnancy.

Teen Parent Support: Data shows that 50% of families on welfare had their first children as teens.

The keys to achieving self-sufficiency for the young parent are school completion, parenting skill development, and living wage job skills.
