Johns Hopkins Study of Repeat Adolescent Pregnancy, 1976-1982
Investigators: Janet B. Hardy

The purpose of this study was to use available data sources to obtain demographic, contraceptive, pregnancy, and pregnancy resolution information on 725 teenage girls aged 18 years or younger who were enrolled in the postnatal follow-up component of the Johns Hopkins Adolescent Pregnancy Program during the years 1976 to 1982. Information was obtained primarily through intake interviews conducted at the time of the mother's postnatal visits. Since in many cases pregnancy data were obtained retrospectively, the actual years during which deliveries were recorded span the period of 1970 to 1982. Demographic information on the father of the index baby was also obtained.

Note for users of DAAPPP Data Sets #01-B1
DAAPPP data sets 01 through B1 are comprised of a User's Guide, SPSS syntax files (*.SPS or *.SPX) and raw data files only. Most of these datasets contain SPSS syntax files that use Job Control Language (JCL) from 1980s versions of SPSS-X. Because the syntax is old, the syntax files require editing to conform to the current syntax standards used by SPSS/Windows or SPSS/Unix. If you require technical assistance in using or editing these syntax files, please contact Sociometrics' Data Support Group at 800.846.3475 or socio@socio.com.
