Abstract
Given the unique challenges and strengths of teen parents, specialized supports are needed to help teen families reach their full potential. This study explored, from the perspectives of teen parents involved in a supportive housing program, what helps teen parents raise their children in healthy ways. Aligned with a community-based participatory research approach, we used the photovoice method. Two 6-month rounds of photovoice were conducted, during which teen parents met with the researchers on a biweekly basis for group discussions and engaged in innovative knowledge mobilization. Resulting categories, in response to the question of what helps teen parents raise their children in healthy ways, consist of (a) supports and services; (b) safe, secure, and affordable housing; and (c) community. Ultimately, teen families have both complex needs and strengths that require relationship-based, trauma-informed, structured supports delivered by nonjudgmental staff who respect their independence, supportive landlords, and communities where they can feel safe to raise their children without stigma and judgment. Importantly, findings emphasize the need for supportive and responsive structures, policies, and housing programs to be in place for teen families rather than focusing exclusively on preventing teen pregnancy. Specific recommendations are provided with direct relevance for research and practice.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
