Teen Pregnancy
Introduction
Teenage mothers comprise a group of mothers aged between 15-
19 years. In the United States, stats states that live birth rate for
teenage moms is 27% per 1000 women in this age group. Birth
rate has been falling for women aged 15-17 years and 8% all
women aged 18-19 (Child Trends, 2014). In the United States,
teen pregnancy is still higher than many other countries like
Canada and Latin America (Clay, et al, 2012).

6. The following are facts about the teen pregnancy in United
States.
1. 4 in 10 teens get pregnant at least once before the age of 20,
this is a big number when considering annual statistics.
2. Parenthood is a leading reason as to why teen girls drop out
of school. The fact shows that more than 50% of teen mothers
never completing school.
3. An also disturbing trend is that almost a half of the teen
mothers get their second child within the first 24 months.
4. Lastly United States has the highest pregnancy rates in the
industrialized world. The study though shows trends in decline
for the rate of births in the country.
5. Less than 10% dads marry the mother of their child.
6. 80% of teens who do not use protective methods have higher
chances of becoming pregnant
7. More than 50% of mothers had their first child during the
teenage years.
8. In unites States, teens had fewer babies than any other year in
history
Brief overview
Teen birth rates have declined in the recent years. Despite these
declines, there exist still a lot of disparities that needs to be
addressed (Dessen, 2005). . This is because of the social and
economic costs associated with teen moms. According to the
statistics, the Hispanic teen births were still higher than the
other races in United States such as white teens, Indian
American. These statistics show that native birth rates still
twice higher than the white teens. ,

7. Target population.
The target population for this project is the Native American
teens who still have considerably higher birth rates than other
Americans (Kearney & Levine, 2012).Main Focus area
With teen pregnancy being one of the key areas to be addressed
this year, the goal of this project is to give quality health and
life to the teens. The focus for this proposal is to provide the
following protective factors to the teens on the basis of
knowledge, beliefs, skills and attitude related to the teen
pregnancy (Yuen & Lam 2014).
1. The knowledge of the HIV and other STD’ including
pregnancy protection
2. Different perception of HIV and AIDS
3. Improving personal values and attitude towards sex and
abstinence.
4. Attitudes towards condom, and contraceptives.
5. Different perception on peer influence on sex and
adolescence.
6. Ability to refuse having sex without condoms
7. Their notion on limiting the number of sexual partners.
8. Difficulty on parents communicating to their children on sex
and parenting at young age.
9. Improve individual ability to resist the risks associated with
contracting HIV and AIDS.
10. Intent on the use of condom and other preventive methods.
In addition to these programs teens need other programs to
access the youth friendly clinical services.
Figure 1 Teen Pregnancy Graph (guttmatcher.org, 2015)
Adults should play a big role in helping to shape teen attitude
towards relationships, sex, and birth control. In addition, parent

8. will be involved in the emotional and financial support given to
the teen in order to shape their way of perceiving relationships
as a source of income and support.Project location
This program will be located in Alaska and Latin American
states
Conclusion
Preventing teen pregnancy is a community concern that must be
systematically be eradicated. Community leaders must now be
involved in the design of the reduction procedure. This process
need to be inclusive of almost all members of the community
and other ideologies and possible collaborations to change the
adolescent sexual health risk so as the youth to understand the
need for community attention in teen pregnancy.

This article will give you insights on the impact the social and
cultural factors that teen pregnancy has. Teen pregnancy has
declined, but it is still high comparing to other countries.
African Americans and Hispanics contribute to more teenage
pregnancies than any other race. As a result, this affects the
well-being of each household with having poverty, lack of
education, and quality healthcare. Bandura’s social theory refers
to individuals who are in contact with will become more than
likely in the same space and imitate the behaviors.

9. This article discusses the ways the community can build
relationships on preventing and educating teens on pregnancy
and developing a way for them to understand and eliminate it. It
also wants collaboration from other resources, so they can
collaborate on prevention, parenting, and support. In detail, it
gives different cultural background statistics to show what is
arising and how it affects each diversity culture.

This article discusses the impact of teen pregnancy and the
overall high it has in this country than any other. This article
seems to think that many teenage girls are having babies is
because of the low economic trajectory. This article shows in
detail population, growth, age, race, region, area, and city that
has more or less children at a teen age. In this article, it also
suggests that teens, who have children will likely, drop out of
school, be unmarried and live in poverty. If we support more
ways to show teens they will have a better outcome in life then
they may put off having children. I think ways of doing this is
having college become easier and less expensive, educating the
children to understand they will have more in life.

This article discusses the values and beliefs of why teenagers
feel guilty or have reserved feelings on being pregnant,
adoption, and abortion. Many teenagers feel if there are
negative reactions then they should immediately abort. Some
teenagers feel they are in these positions to take responsibility

10. for their mistakes. This article talks with different people to
analyze and study their reactions and decisions. Each individual
had a different story to tell, a different life, a different outcome,
but they all face the fact of being pregnant and experiencing it.
