Teenage pregnancy by Lisa Arai
This book examines who is likely to have a baby as a teenager, the consequences of early motherhood and how teenage pregnancy is dealt with in the media. The author argues that society's negative attitude to young mothers marginalises an already excluded group and that efforts should be focused on support.
"This book exposes an unhealthy relationship between the media and policy making leading to the distortion of research evidenceLucid, analytic and controversial, it is a must-read for policy makers in the present and of the future." Professor Rachel Thomson, Faculty of Health and Social Care, The Open University
