Issue 13, April 1, 2013

This week, Science Clips is pleased to collaborate with CDC Vital Signs by featuring scientific articles from the current Vital Signs issue on Maternal and Child Health - Adolescent Pregnancy (www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns). Although not all articles are peer-reviewed they are taken from authoritative sources and represent sound scientific information. Those articles marked with an asterisk are general review articles which may be of particular interest to clinicians and public health professionals seeking background information in this area.

The report consists of three components:

• Key scientific articles in featured topic areas (this week featuring Maternal and Child Health - Adolescent Pregnancy, in conjunction with CDC Vital Signs)
• CDC-authored publications
• Public health articles noted in the media

1. Key Scientific Articles in Featured Topic Areas

   
   Subject matter experts decide what topic to feature, and articles are selected from the last 3 to 6 months of published literature. Key topic coincides monthly with other CDC products (e.g. Vital Signs).
