The results of this study suggest that the effectiveness of using infant simulators to influence the perceptions of teens about the reality of teen parenting is minimal. Two significant differences in pre/posttest subscale scores were in the areas of friends and personal characteristics. No significant differences were found in the mean pre/posttest scores or in correlations of the demographic data and mean scores. The TTPS yields a composite score of the teen attitudes toward the teen parenting experience and eight subscale scores that assess different areas of teen life. We used the Thoughts on Teen Parenting Survey (TTPS) to assess the perceptions of teens with regard to the costs and rewards associated with teen parenting.
The final sample included 79 teens age 14 to 18 years who attended one of eight BTIO sessions.

The school-based wellness center of a high school was the setting for the weekly sessions and the pre/posttest administration. This pilot study was a preexperimental, one group pre/posttest design. To evaluate the effectiveness of simulation as a strategy to influence teens' perceptions of pregnancy and parenting.
