Abstract：
The purpose of this explanatory sequential mixed methods study was to examine parenting outcomes and experiences over time among marginalized adolescent mothers enrolled in randomized clinical trials (RCT) between 2002 and 2016 testing Minding the Baby® (MTB), an early home visiting program. The quantitative phase examined associations between measures of maternal experiences and parenting outcomes from 71 participants 2-8 years since RCT completion. MTB mothers reported less hostile parenting and fewer child behavior problems. The sequential qualitative phase involved interviews with a subsample (n = 31) and revealed six themes about their personal and parenting maturation. Through integration of quantitative and qualitative data, we generated metainferences, revealing a nuanced understanding of participants\' experiences. Integrated findings revealed the complex personal and parenting experiences among former adolescent mothers during their developmental phases of emerging and early adulthood. Findings inform clinical and research approaches to promote personal growth and positive parenting outcomes over time among women who began childbearing in adolescence.
摘要：
这项解释性序贯混合方法研究的目的是检查2002年至2016年期间参加随机临床试验（RCT）的边缘化青春期母亲的育儿结果和经验，测试MindingtheBaby®（MTB）。一个早期的家庭访问计划。定量阶段检查了自RCT完成后2-8年的71名参与者的母亲经历和育儿结果之间的关联。MTB母亲报告的敌意育儿和儿童行为问题较少。连续的定性阶段涉及对子样本（n=31）的访谈，并揭示了有关其个人和父母成熟的六个主题。通过定量和定性数据的整合，我们生成了元参考，揭示了对参与者体验的细微差别理解。综合发现揭示了前青春期母亲在新兴和成年早期的发育阶段复杂的个人和育儿经历。研究结果为临床和研究方法提供了信息，以促进青春期开始生育的女性的个人成长和积极的育儿结果。
