This study examines the degree to which social indicators such as rates of employment, divorce, death and population density are predictive of the timing and frequency of prenatal visits among adolescents and young adults. Predictive models are examined separately for urban versus rural women, and by age cohort: early, middle, late adolescents and young adults. Findings suggest that the timing of prenatal care is predominantly influenced by emotional and cognitive factors, whereas he frequency of visits is influenced by economic and logistical phenomena. These phenomena vary with age and urban and rural environments. Specifically, social conditions can have a disproportionate effect on prenatal care use by younger mothers
