INTRODUCTION Recent trends in reproductive rights have contributed to lasting concerns about adolescent childrearing in American society. Beyond being generally unprepared when raising a child, having a child during adolescence is associated with a variety of environmental, social, and psychological consequences for both the parents and the child. It is important to understand the factors contributing to adolescent childrearing. Although research has identified many factors that contribute to adolescent childrearing, a notable gap remains when considering the role of the correctional system and, in particular, the age-specific effects of confining adolescents in adult correctional facilities. METHODS The current study examined the age-specific effects of time spent in adult correctional facilities from 13 to 34 years of age on childrearing between 14 and 35 years of age using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1997 (NLSY97). The NLSY97 is a nationally representative sample of Males (51%) and Females (49%) born in the United States. Respondents of the NLSY97 were interviewed about life events beginning at age 7 and continued to participate in the study as recently as 2021. RESULTS The results of the lagged growth curve models suggest that the time spent incarcerated between 13 and 17 years of age heightens the risk of childrearing between 14 and 18 years of age, an effect that is not observed during adulthood. CONCLUSION Overall, the results suggest that the conditions adolescents are exposed to during incarceration in an adult correctional facility could contribute to a heightened likelihood of adolescent childrearing.

成人教养机构中的少年监禁是青少年育儿的一个危险因素吗？

引言 生殖权利的最新趋势导致了美国社会对青少年育儿问题的持续关注。除了在抚养孩子时通常毫无准备外，在青春期生育孩子会给父母和孩子带来各种环境、社会和心理后果。重要的是要了解影响青少年育儿的因素。尽管研究已经确定了许多影响青少年育儿的因素，但在考虑惩教系统的作用时仍然存在显着差距，特别是将青少年限制在成人惩教设施中对特定年龄的影响。方法 本研究使用 1997 年全国青年纵向调查 (NLSY97)，调查了 13 至 34 岁在成人教养所度过的时间对 14 至 35 岁儿童抚养的年龄特异性影响。NLSY97 是在美国出生的男性 (51%) 和女性 (49%) 的全国代表性样本。NLSY97 的受访者接受了关于从 7 岁开始的生活事件的采访，并在最近的 2021 年继续参与了这项研究。结果 滞后增长曲线模型的结果表明，13 至 17 岁之间被监禁的时间增加了风险14 至 18 岁之间的儿童抚养，这种影响在成年期间没有观察到。结论 总的来说，
