This paper also suggests that more research needs to be done on the long-term consequences of teen-motherhood. The NLSY79 Health module provides a rich array of health information beyond the SF-12, which permits further research into the association of teen-motherhood with different health-outcomes. Finally, longitudinal information is also available the children of the female respondents of NLSY79, which provide a rich resource for comparing outcomes of the children of teen-mothers to the children of their counterparts, to understand whether the effects of teen-motherhood persist across generations.
