Urinary Tract Infections VBAC Yeast Infection RESOURCES Clinical Trials HealthProfiler Links Videos Overview Teen pregnancy rates in the United States have declined steadily in recent years. More than 60 of every 1000 teenage women gave birth in 1991 and 51 per 1000 in 1998 (the last year for which data are available). This decline is thought to be attributed to more effective birth control practice and decreased sexual activity among teens. The most dramatic reduction – 23% - has occurred among African American teenagers. Still, teenage pregnancy rates remain high. In the United States, approximately 1 million teenage girls become pregnant every year. As many as 5% of teenage girls give birth and, in 1997, about 13% of U.S. births were to teens. About 25% of teenage girls who give birth have another baby within 2 years. In order to lower teenage birthrates, teens must be educated about sex and the consequences of pregnancy Teen pregnancy is an important issue. There are

NVSR 49, No. 4. 10 pp. (PHS) 2001-1120. View/download PDF 142 KB America’s teenagers were less likely to become pregnant in 1997 than at any time since 1976, when national data on pregnancy rates first became available, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which updates trends in pregnancy and births in the United States. The teen pregnancy rate fell 19 percent from its all-time high in 1991 to reach a record low of 94.3 pregnancies per 1,000 women aged 15-19 years in 1997. "The fact that fewer teens are becoming pregnant is encouraging news," said Dr. Jeffrey P. Koplan, CDC Director. "Few teens are ready for the challenges of parenthood. When they delay this responsibility it enables them to gain the education and maturity they need to be good parents and good citizens," he said. The teen pregnancy rate had risen from the mid-1980's and reached a peak in 1991; the 1997 rate is actually 10 percent lower than the 1986 rate when the upturn began.

This feature contains a searchable database designed to share information about teen pregnancy, parenting and prevention. Developed with support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation. About Adolescent Pregnancy: Despite some laudable progress in reducing births to teens, the United States still has the highest birth rate among Western industrialized countries at an estimated annual cost of $7 billion. There are still nearly 500,000 infants born to teen parents each year. This means that there are 3 million children under 6 being raised by teen parents or in alternative settings such as foster care or extended family situations at any given moment. Many teen parents and their children continue to be denied educational opportunities, shelter and safety from abuse and violence. NOAPPP Constituents Have Responsibility for the Decline: The drop in teen pregnancy has come through a concerted effort to provide comprehensive sexuality education, accurate information and decision-making skills that support smart choices. Strong linkages between schools and communities bring resources to teens struggling with at risk behavior, maltreatment including sexual abuse or consensual sexual experimentation and untimely parenting responsibilities. Dedicated providers, teachers and parents continue to be essential supporters to teens making critical decisions about the issues.

Despite recent declines, 4 out of 10 girls in the U.S. get pregnant at least once by age 20 . Many teens say they are concerned about pregnancy, but still think "it can't happen to me." But it does - to one million girls every year. And the number one reason teen guys and girls give for not using protection is that they weren't planning to have sex and that it "just happened." Our online quiz is designed to help teens come up with their own plans for avoiding pregnancy.

Suzy Garfinkle Chevrier, The Parenting Project's Founder, is a parent advocate and the mother of three young daughters. She describes her motivation for the project, "When I had my first child, I was nearly thirty; I had read all the books and had taken parenting and child development classes in college; I had been around the world alone and had worked in many fields, including child care, journalism and education. But nothing ever awed me as much as being responsible for my own infant. I have always wondered how parents who have had fewer opportunities to prepare and fewer resources can possibly manage."

60. SIECUS Fact Sheet: Teen Pregnancy, Birth And Abortion teen pregnancy, Birth and Abortion. Pregnancy, birth, and abortionrates among teenagers in the United States have declined over http://www.siecus.org/pubs/fact/fact0010.html

Home Search Site Navigation Contact Us ... Fact Sheets Teen Pregnancy, Birth and Abortion Pregnancy, birth, and abortion rates among teenagers in the United States have declined over the past decade but still remain an endemic public health issue. Reasons for the decline include increased motivation of youth to achieve higher levels of education, the availability of comprehensive sexuality education in schools, leading to young people's knowledge about contraception, more effective contraceptive use, and improved ability to negotiate contraceptive practice; and greater social support for services related to both pregnancy and disease prevention among adolescents. Despite the decline, young women of color are disproportionately affected by teenage childbearing. In 2000, the birth rates for African American teenagers were reported as the lowest ever in the 40 years for which data for African American women are available. However, the rates for Hispanic teenagers remained the highest for any population group. (Published in the SIECUS Report, Volume 30, Number 3 - February/March 2002)
