description Data collected during structured, in-home interviews with 54 inner-city, Latina adolescent mothers are used to explore the antecedents, effects, & underlying characteristics of natural mentor relationships. Women with mentors reported significantly lower levels of depression & anxiety than those without mentors, despite similar levels of stress exposure & overall support resources. Young women with natural mentors were also more satisfied with their support resources, better able to cope effectively with relationship problems, & recalled their childhood relationships with their mothers as more accepting. It is concluded that mentor relationships enhance young women's capacity to benefit from their support resources & offset the effects of relationship problems; implications for future research & intervention strategies are discussed. 3 Tables, 43 References.
