Although the main claims of the paper are that unlike common belief that demographic and health variables determine the decision to abort it is childhood mistreatment,and family hostory which are the closesr predictors including history of mothers prior abortion,inabilkity to grieve their mothers pregnancy loss & h/o chance of being aborted themselves.Although the factors that the author has analyzed as a demographgically importantimportant cause of future pregnancy outcome i think the title is misleadingas he has not used adolescents to study but determines factors which would be the likely causes of patient aborting or not and a better name for the article would be factors which influence pregnancy outcome globally.

Yes but the article doesnt make anysense with the name factors that determine adolescent pregnancy pitcomeand the title is misleading although the results make good sense in terms of total demographic view.
The author has to change the title first ,otherwise results become meaningless although well worked out.
The author used 375 unselected patients out of which 312 women and 63 men with 30%from his psychiatric practice and rest healthy above average intelligent trainees for group counselling-no age group specified in the protocol but in results author concludes women under 30 years what the most significant factors affect fullterm outcome-but with this title the whole concept gets defied and name should be changed to fasctors that affect pregnancy losses although results make sense on a demographic way with irrespective of marriage ,partner support and mothers views on previous abortion affects outcome with mother having had no losses and with no sexual abuse better chances of good outcome and proper statistucal analysis done although better ratio of male and female patients may have been better but basic outcome is of pregnancy outcome from women so immatrial.
Yes
Yes-first thing the title should be changed to factoes that affect pregnancy outcome globally with role of psychiatric factors as well and author should add references to support that aspect rather than name factors that determine adolescent pregnancy outcome which doesnt make sense.
No-with the name it is meaningless that is factors that determiner adolescent pregnancy outcome as population of patients are upto 30 years if not elder as well which defies definition of adolescence.
The author needs to improve the paper "e latest references regarding factors that affect prehnancy outcome as his results are of significance with a global perspective but the way written isnt making sense with definition of adolescence not only matching with the subjects studied.
