Abstract:Sub-Saharan Africa knows a high incidence of childbearing among adolescents. This study investigates which variables and processes influence a successful transition to motherhood, in cases of adolescent childbearing. It does so on the basis of case studies in a provincial town in Ghana. Variables investigated in the study were demographic information, family support, partner support, community support, parental approval, prenatal care and preparation, and the mothers' perspectives on maternal role competence.
