Description:Objectives—This report presents changes in state-specific birth rates for teenagers between 2017 and 2018 by race and Hispanic origin of mother.
Methods—Data are from birth certificates of the 50 states and the District of Columbia (D.C.). Teen birth rates, the number of births to females aged 15–19 per 1,000 females aged 15–19, are shown by state for all births and for non-Hispanic single-race white, non-Hispanic single-race black, and Hispanic females for 2017 and 2018.
Results—Birth rates for females aged 15–19 declined in 38 states between 2017 and 2018; nonsignificant declines were reported in eight additional states and D.C. Among non- Hispanic white teenagers, rates declined in 29 states between 2017 and 2018; nonsignificant declines were reported in 16 additional states. Teen birth rates for non-Hispanic black females declined in 10 states between 2017 and 2018; nonsignificant declines were seen in 21 additional states and D.C. For Hispanic teenagers, birth rates declined in 10 states between 2017 and 2018; nonsignificant declines were reported in 30 additional states and D.C. The magnitude of change between 2017 and 2018 varied by state for each race and Hispanic-origin group.
