Teen Pregnancy Statistics

One of our frequently asked questions for parents on teen pregnancy prevention.

The teen birth rate in the United States rose in 2006 for the first time since 1991, and unmarried childbearing also rose significantly, according to preliminary birth statistics released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

A new study by the CDC about what teens who had babies did about trying to prevent the pregnancy they had. The study was essential, in my opinion, as the United States remains the country with the highest teen pregnancy rate in the developed world.
