N2  - OBJECTIVE: To determine whether teenagers partnered with adult men were more likely to report domestic violence and trauma-related care during pregnancy than teenagers partnered with male peers. DESIGN: Nonexperimental, descriptive comparative design. SETTING: Postpartum unit in a large, urban teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS: English-speaking teenagers who recently delivered a live infant. METHODS: Semistructured interviews lasting from 30 minutes to 2 hours. INSTRUMENTS: The Abuse Assessment Screen, the Danger Assessment Scale. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Domestic violence and trauma-related care during pregnancy. RESULTS: Teenagers with adult partners were not more likely to report domestic violence or seek trauma-related care during pregnancy than teenagers with peer-age partners. CONCLUSION: Researchers, policy makers, and health care providers should continue to address violence occurring among pregnant teenagers by identifying subgroups who may be at increased risk of abuse.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
