Abstract	Objective : To qualitatively examine the perceptions of young fathers toward issues related to early childbearing. Methods : Focus groups were held with male partners of adolescent females who had become pregnant while participating in an HIV-prevention trial. Results : Primary domains that emerged included young male's desire for pregnancy, their attitudes toward father/child involvement, and their perceived social support as young fathers. Conclusions : Findings may help in developing gender-appropriate interventions to delay early childbearing and prevent HIV/STD transmission. (Author).
