An association between the failure of teenage mothers to return to school postpartum and rapid repeat pregnancy (recidivism) has been described.

Our data, together with the literature, suggest that with close postpartum follow-up, young mothers who are not motivated to return to school following delivery can effectively postpone pregnancy.
