School of Public Health faculty and area and state mental health and human resources profes sionals will address the physt ological. nutritional and psychological-aspects of teen pregnancy and parenthood Teen-age pregnancy out of wedlock is on the rise every where. said La Verne Reid, a Raleigh health educator who will speak at the conference. She said it is the greatest single cause of students drop ping out of high school in the United States. Reid, who pioneered a small program for teen mothers w nen she w orked lor tne W ake County Health Department is patient education coordinator lor the Area Health Education tenter at Wake Medical Center, where a similar pro gram is being developed Although a variety of local health agencies across North • Carolina deal with the pro blem of teen pregnancy to some degree, she said, there are tew programs aimed specilically at guiding mothers alter they make the - decision to keep their babies Most local health agencies are equipped only to help the mothe- decide whether to have an abortion, put the baby up for adoption or keep the baby. Reid said. Teen mothers--and their children--face a much greater chance of having physical, mental and social problems than mothers in their 20's, she said. oftentimes, stigmas associ ated with out-obwedlock pre gnancy cause pregnant teens to delay seeking prena'al care—The rh.im-es ot ppiTna _ ture birth are much greater. Teenage girls who are pre gnant are trapped in a cycle of failure." Reid said 'Their schooling is interrupted, the family unit is disrupted and their sell-esteem drops ' Accordingly, she said, the program at the Wake Health department begins with mea 'tires aimed at increasing self esteem : films, discussions, and perhaps most important, uninhibited association with girls in the same boat "The bonding- is fascina ting." Reid said of the way girls in the program have been immediately drawn to each other.
