Pregnancy and Motherhood Among Adolescent Girls in Child Protective Services: A Meta-Synthesis of Qualitative Research (2012, background): “In the United States, Courtney and colleagues (Courtney et al., 2005) surveyed child protective systems in the midwest and found that approximately 50% of the girls reported a pregnancy by age 19 years, with the rate highest among those girls who had recently left the care of CPS.”
