Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST Qd6R0x97. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. As a supplement to traditional ways of measuring health care quality, the patient's perspective is an essential indicator, yet it is often overlookec evaluations of health care for pregnant teenagers. This report reveals now 40 young women receiving publicly funded care viewed their physicians and the chnics and other facilities at which they received health care services. Pregnant and parenting urban teens face stigmatizatior in many aspects of their lives. The author concludes, based on her interviews with the 40 teens, that providers and health care systems should combat such negat ve nfluences with support and respect for these patients. The data also point to the need for comprehensive health care for low-income adelescents that extends beyond prenatal care, which may focus on the needs of the fetus or infant to the exclusion of the needs of the young mother.
