Teen Boys: National Campaign
built 212 days ago
Teen pregnancy and birth rates among all teens have declined by about one- third since the early 1990s. Even so, the Latino teen pregnancy rate is almost twice the national average and has declined about half as fast as the national rate. At present, the National Campaign estimates that 51% of Latinas get pregnant at least once by age 20 (compared to 3 in 10 nationally). In addition, a new summary analysis of existing data prepared by the National Campaign ... shows that the birth rate for Latinas aged 15-19 increased in 17 of 47 reporting states and the District of Columbia between 1990 and 2003.

An entire section of the survey was dedicated to teen driving. The driving report focuses exclusively on the responses of 903 teens with a driver's license from a national sample of 26 high schools in April and May, 2006. The relevant, driving-specific findings can be interpreted at a 95% confidence interval with a +/- 3.3% error margin. Analysis of survey subgroups are subject to wider error margins. Percentages in the report may add to more or less than 100% due to rounding error or occasions when multiple response answers were accepted.

The 170-page report offers several key insights regarding boys’ contributions to recent declines in teen pregnancy and birth rates as well as pertinent implications for those working with teen boys and young adult men. The report was produced as part of the National Campaign’s CDC-funded “Putting What Works to Work Project.” The contents of the publication are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of CDC.
