Notes:	Nelson and Lepore’s journal article discusses findings from their US research study on the relationship between unintended pregnancy (UP) and stress, depressive symptoms and exposure to violence among young urban women. Their investigation included ascertaining socioeconomic and demographic information; measuring the prevalence and effects of child sexual assault on UP; and understanding the impact of varying levels of social support. Finally, the authors offered support for ongoing screening for stress and depression among women who have survived child sexual assault to potentially reduce UP in urban areas.
