There are more teen mothers among minority groups, so when this occurs, they become part of the statistical research of teen motherhood (Ventura & Hamilton, 2011). The second and third components, self and cultural concept of career problems and self in cultural context, involve examining challenges faced by teen mothers to move on to higher education and the economic struggles they encounter. Self-concept, as described in Gottfredson's (1981) theory, is a significant part of the second component (Zunker, 2008). Self-concept of the young Black mother is formed considering her circumstance: raising a child, facing educational difficulties, and facing economic difficulties (Gyamfi et al., 2008; Key et al., 2008; Rothenberg & Weissman, 2002). Recognizing the self-concept of the young Black mother leads to a better understanding of the cultural concept of career problems and the self in a cultural context.

Organizations such as Planned Parenthood of Southern New Jersey offer reduced or sliding scale pricing for women who cannot afford prenatal care. Marketing for Planned Parenthood is vital to the organizations success.
Those at highest risk of teen pregnancy are girls from single parent homes, families with low socioeconomic status, and girls with a sister who became pregnant as a teenager (Talashek, Alba, & Patel, 2006). A significant risk factor identified by the National Center for the Prevention of Teenage Pregnancy (NCPTP) is that 75% of pregnant teens have mothers who were also pregnant as a teenager (VanLenten, 200?). The lifestyle of the average teenager is not conducive to fetal development. Teen mothers are more likely to smoke, eat a fast food diet, less likely to have adequate prenatal care, and more

• Utilize existing funds for the prevention and treatment of alcoholism and drug dependency among women and their families. • Review agency services, and propose the coordination of related programs between alcohol and drug treatment, social services, education, and the maternal health and child care field in order to improve maternal and child health. (Paltrow, n.d.) Leading public health organizations, including the American Medical Association (AMA), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP),American Nurses Association, American Society of Addiction Medicine,National Association for Perinatal Addiction Research andEducation, National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, and American Public Health Association, oppose the prosecution of pregnant women who use drugs. These groups recognize that such an approach undermines maternal and fetal health because the threat of criminal charges and the fear of losing their children deter women from seeking prenatal care and drug treatment (Paltrow, 2001) Barriers to a Caring
