Teen Mom’s Education, Activities and Children’s Health (TEACH)

Abstract

The purpose of this MUSE project was to develop a program to provide parenting education for teen mothers with a focus on nutrition, physical activity, and wellness promotion. This project involved two TCNJ nursing students collaborating with faculty to develop a curriculum plan for the TEACH program. The first part of the program involved a literature review examining health disparities, challenges, and successful teen parenting program interventions to combat poor outcomes for teen parents and their children. The second part involved developing content for weekly parenting classes for teen parent participants.
