Description:

Key findings

• In 2008, state-specific teenage birth rates varied widely, from less than 25.0 per 1,000 15–19 year olds to more than 60.0.

• Rates for non-Hispanic white and Hispanic teenagers were uniformly higher in the Southeast and lower in the Northeast and California.

• The highest rates for non- Hispanic black teenagers were reported in the upper Midwest and in the Southeast.

• The race and Hispanic origin-specific birth rates by state as well as the population composition of states by race and Hispanic origin contribute to state variations in overall teenage birth rates.
