• Description:
  This special surveillance report examines the patterns of teen pregnancy and birth across the country. There are substantial differences in these patterns by state, and they have been explained to some degree. The report also examines how these differences can be magnified by differences in race and ethnicity.
  
  Pregnancy rates in some states were double those in other states; birth rates tripled from one state to another; and there was an eightfold difference in the abortion rate when data were compared from the state with the lowest rate to that with the highest. In the state with the highest rate of pregnancy for black teenagers, one-fifth of 15- to 19-year-old black women were pregnant in 1990. Birth rates for white teenagers have been shown to be three times as high in some states as in others
