Goodbye 16 and pregnant: U.S. teen pregnancy at all-time low

  • 7 years ago
According to a new CDC report, teen pregnancy in the U.S. has significantly dropped. The rate of teen pregnancies dropped nine percent since 2016 and 67 percent in girls ages 15 to 19 since 1991. Dr. Elise Berlan, a physician who specializes in adolescent medicine, told CNN: She noted the top preventative method seemed to be 'the condom, followed by withdrawal and the pill.' On the flip side, women between 40 and 45 have seen a four percent increase in pregnancies since 2015.
