Program Summary

Generations is a family-centered medical home program that provides integrated medical care, including pregnancy prevention, mental health care, and social work services for teen parent families. Teen parents and their children receive care from the same medical provider, often in the same visit. Additionally, families receive comprehensive support, including primary care, social work services, mental health and developmental screenings, and mental health services if needed, all at the same medical facility. The program aims to improve mental and physical health outcomes for teen parents and their children, and to reduce repeat pregnancies.

Target Population

The Generations program was designed for teen mothers, aged 19 or younger, and their children. The program was evaluated with teen mothers who were an average age of 18 at the one-year follow-up.

Program Setting

The Generations program was designed to be delivered in a primary-care setting. The program was evaluated in community-based primary health care clinics serving a largely urban, low-income, African American population.
