    Extractions: By Susan Lang "Many teenage pregnancies aren't accidental but intentional because of girls who see no life goals other than being a mother as realistically within their reach," says Andrea Parrot, a Cornell women's health and human sexuality expert. That's a major reason why most current sex and pregnancy prevention education efforts "are ineffective at preventing teenage pregnancy and the U.S. has an outrageous teen pregnancy rate the highest in the industrialized world," said Parrot, associate professor in the Department of Policy Analysis and Management in the College of Human Ecology. In the recent Cornell Cooperative Extension teleconference Women's Health Across the Generations, which was downlinked to 15 sites across New York state in February, Parrot advocated wider use of long-term, multidimensional, community-based programs that have proven successful because they offer hope for a brighter future and the means to achieve life goals other than motherhood. "Such programs are undoubtedly expensive. However, providing the program for a girl for several years will cost less than the social welfare, medical and lost income costs for a teen mother in the first year she has the baby," Parrot pointed out.

    Extractions: Permalink Comments (1) Hill (pictured) was one of the speakers at a City Hall news conference Monday to announce the formation of the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Council, which evolved from a task force on the subject that issued a report last summer. He said the council will take advantage of existing community resources, and step up data collection, outreach and collaboration. In other words, no new funding. Message: I think bringing sex ed back is a great idea. Back when I was an middle school it was a part of physical education class. We have to realize that not all kids are taught the birds and the bees at home, or rather given proper information. Lets face it, the reality is we have girls and boys as young as 11 who are sexually active whether we chose to believe it or not. When i had sex ed, it made me scared to have sex to tell you the truth! obfuscator('EVE1t0EddS', 'fQgElPjOiVwv4aToyq5IKJBX3zhZ1GMpnrdWH90LbUDRke6mcx7sCAY2SFuNt8', 'hidden_input', '', '');

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/special_report/1999/04/99/teen_pregnancy/319869.stm
    
    Extractions: The UK has the highest number of teenage pregnancies in Western Europe and the highest number of unmarried teenage mothers in the world. The UK annual total for teenage pregnancies now stands at about 93,000, according to the British Medical Association. This is the highest level of teenage pregnancy in Europe - twice that of Germany and four times that of France. The UK government's social exclusion unit, which has reported on the problem, has been scrutinising plans in the Netherlands and the United States for inspiration on how to tackle the issue which costs tax payers as much as £10bn each year. The following is an outline of challenges and solutions in the two countries the government is looking to most, and what the UK might learn. The Netherlands The Netherlands has the lowest teen pregnancy rate in Europe. Social attitudes to teenage sex and pregnancy are very different to those in the UK.

    Extractions: Eighty-six percent of the recent decline in U.S. teen pregnancy rates is the result of improved contraceptive use, while a small proportion of the decline (14%) can be attributed to teens waiting longer to start having sex, according to a report by John Santelli, MD, MPH, department chair and professor of Clinical Population and Family Health at the Mailman School of Public Health and published in the January issue of the American Journal of Public Health. By the Numbers, The Cost of Teen Childbearing Despite a 46% decline in the state teen birth rate between 1991 and 2004, teen childbearing in California cost taxpayers (federal, state, and local) at least $896 million in 2004, according to a new analysis released by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. Of these costs, 47% were federal costs and 53% were state and local costs. The national public sector costs of teen childbearing total $9.1 billion.

69. Teenage Pregnancy And Childbearing In Hawai`i : Center On The Family
    Center on the Family s mission is to enhance interdisciplinary research, service, and education that supports and strengthens families.  
    http://uhfamily.hawaii.edu/publications/brochures/teen_pregnancy.htm
    
    Extractions: Adolescent pregnancy and childbearing are matters of substantial national concern. Research has shown valid reasons for concern: Families formed by a first birth to a couple who are unmarried or to a mother who is under 20 or has not completed high school have been found to be at greatest risk of poverty and instability. Children born to teenage moms have been found to be more likely to have health and developmental problems, to fail in school and to become delinquent. Young women who become pregnant before age 18 have been found to be at higher risk of school failure, delinquency and poverty that restricts their opportunities in life. Causal patterns are difficult to find: poor teen women and those with educational deficits are more likely to initiate sexual activity at earlier ages. Nevertheless, sustained poverty, frustration and hopelessness are all too often the long-term outcomes. National Trends: Young men and women are increasingly delaying marriage. Teenagers are becoming sexually experienced at younger ages.

    http://www.publichealthathens.com/teen_pregnancy.htm
    
    Extractions: Family Planning Perspectives, Sep 1994, by Koo, Helen P, Dunteman, George H, George, Cindee, Green, Yvonne, Vincent, Murray Although the number of teenage pregnancies has been slowly declining over the past decade, the rates among Georgia’s adolescent females are still among the highest in the country…and in the developed world In one year alone, 868 teens in a ten-county area of Northeast Georgia became pregnant and 671 gave birth. This is an obvious issue of concern, not only to the teens, but also to their families, communities, and society as a whole. Teen pregnancy is closely linked to a number of other critical issues, including overall child and family well-being. Simply put, if more children were born to parents who are ready and able to care for them, we would see a significant reduction in a host of social problems, from school failure and poverty to child abuse and neglect. Therefore, the goal of teenage pregnancy prevention is not only to prevent unplanned/unwanted pregnancies, but also to help adolescents grow up healthy, educated, employable, and connected to their families and communities.

    Extractions: Teen Pregnancy Prevention Project Current research supports the two pronged approach of the Napa County Office of Education's program to reduce teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections, and equip teens with tools they need to make responsible decisions that will affect their future. The first prong is that teens need to have current, accurate information about sexual health issues. The curriculum for 7th graders is an abstinence-only program called Postponing Sexual Involvement. It is a 5-plus hour interactive curriculum designed to give students information and tools to think about, discuss and practice helpful techniques to resist societal, media and peer pressures to become sexually active. The material addresses issues of self-awareness and the importance of building self-esteem to become more confident in making healthy decisions. The second prong of the approach is to support non-sexually related efforts by supporting community agencies that help reduce risk taking by supporting the individual in ways that improve educational and career opportunities through youth development programs such as New Beginnings, Aldea and CyberMill Computer Clubhouse.

Giving to UC Davis Health System Studies have shown that babies born to teen mothers who participate in group visits are less likely to deliver low-birth-weight babies. The impending birth of a new baby is usually cause for joy and fulfillment, but the prospect may also bring confusion and fear for teenage mothers-to-be who are not far removed from their own childhood years. They may be unaware of the changes their body will undergo and lack an adequate social network to help them through pregnancy and beyond. To help these young mothers, the Department of Family and Community Medicine operates the Teen Pregnancy Support Program. A key feature of the program is group medical appointments, which allows a patient to go through her pregnancy with other young women whose babies are due at about the same time.
