Risk-taking behaviors in early adolescent minority women: implications for research and practice

Willa M Doswell et al. J Obstet Gynecol Neonatal Nurs. 2002 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

Adolescence is a time of biologic, intellectual, and psychosocial transition for young women. For an African American or Hispanic girl, the challenge of being female is compounded by the challenge of being a member of a minority group. In this article, the authors present the reproductive health challenges faced by African American and Hispanic girls and suggest research-based programs and nursing practice interventions to address these challenges.
