"I Just Let Him Have His Way"

Partner Violence in the Lives of Low-Income, Teenage Mothers

Daniel Rosen

University of Pittsburgh

This study explores the relationship between teenage pregnancy and male partner violence by examining the prevalence and effect of partner violence in a sample of new adolescent mothers. Data for this study are drawn from in-depth interviews with 35 new teenage mothers who had never been in, were currently involved in, or had recently exited from abusive partner relationships. The effect of partner violence on contraceptive use and pregnancy resolution are discussed as important variables in order to understand adolescent pregnancy. The role of social support is discussed as an important buffer for many of the adolescent mothers.

Key Words: domestic violence • low-income mothers • teenage mothers
