Abstract
The relationship between teenage parenting and child abuse is examined in terms of three methodological problems that must be considered in assessing this relationship. Four data sets illustrative of the methodological difficulties are described. Results suggest that the hypothesized association between teenage pregnancy and child abuse may be confounded by the association of each variable with social class.Keywords
