The analysis was based on the Maternity Experience Survey targeting women aged ≥15 years who had singleton live births during 2005/2006 in the Canadian provinces and territories. The main dependent variable in this study was the mother’s age at the time of delivery divided into teen mothers (<20 years) and average-aged mothers (≥20 and <35 years). Socio-economic factors, demographic factors and pregnancy related factors were considered for a logistic regression analysis comparing teen mothers to average-aged mothers. Bootstrapping was performed to account for the complex sampling design. The sample size was 6,188 weighted to represent 76,110 Canadian women. The proportion of teen mothers in the MES study was 2.9%, and their average age was 18.1 years (SD = 1.1). As compared to average-aged mothers, teen mothers were more likely to have low socio-economic status, be non-immigrants, have no partner, reside in the Western Prairies, have previously experienced physical or sexual abuse and have preferred to have had their pregnancies later into their adulthood. Despite the above, teen mothers were more likely to attend prenatal classes than average-aged mothers (Odds ratio = 2.54, 95% confidence interval: 1.74–3.71). Intervention studies should aim to raise awareness among teens to prevent teen pregnancies. Since teen mothers are very likely to attend prenatal courses, the focus of these classes should be tailored to the needs of teen mothers. More in depth qualitative studies should aim to understand their individual needs.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1092-7875</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1573-6628</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s10995-011-0750-8</identifier><identifier>PMID: 21298506</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Boston: Springer US</publisher><subject>Adolescent ; Adolescents ; Adult ; Analysis ; Births ; Canada - epidemiology ; Children & youth ; Childrens health ; Data collection ; Economic factors ; Economics ; Female ; Girls ; Gynecology ; Health Surveys ; Humans ; Logistic Models ; Maternal Age ; Maternal and Child Health ; Medicine ; Medicine & Public Health ; Middle Aged ; Mothers ; Mothers - psychology ; Older parents ; Pediatrics ; Population Economics ; Prairies ; Pregnancy ; Pregnancy in Adolescence - statistics & numerical data ; Prenatal Care ; Prevalence ; Prevalence studies (Epidemiology) ; Public Health ; Qualitative research ; Rape ; Regression analysis ; Risk Factors ; Sex crimes ; Sexual abuse ; Sexual assault ; Sexual Behavior ; Socioeconomic Factors ; Socioeconomics ; Sociology ; Surveys ; Teenage parents ; Teenage pregnancy ; Teenagers ; Violence ; Womens health ; Young Adult ; Youth</subject><ispartof>Maternal and child health journal, 2012, Vol.16 (1), p.228-234</ispartof><rights>Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011</rights><rights>COPYRIGHT 2012 Springer</rights><rights>Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c539t-f16bcd289b6a1327c9beb0c67d9ad00b429c37cdb4aac1be042c8f94d2e000013</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c539t-f16bcd289b6a1327c9beb0c67d9ad00b429c37cdb4aac1be042c8f94d2e000013</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10995-011-0750-8$$EPDF$$P50$$Gspringer$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://link.springer.com/10.1007/s10995-011-0750-8$$EHTML$$P50$$Gspringer$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,777,781,27905,27906,41469,42538,51300</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21298506$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Al-Sahab, Ban</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Heifetz, Marina</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Tamim, Hala</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Bohr, Yvonne</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Connolly, Jennifer</creatorcontrib><title>Prevalence and Characteristics of Teen Motherhood in Canada</title><title>Maternal and child health journal</title><addtitle>Matern Child Health J</addtitle><addtitle>Matern Child Health J</addtitle><description>The study aims to examine the prevalence and characteristics of adolescent mothers throughout the provinces of Canada.
