The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy Resource Folder

Abstract:
[ARCHIVED] The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy is a nonprofit, nonpartisan initiative founded in 1996 with the goal of reducing the U.S. teenage pregnancy rate by one-third by the year 2005. This folder contains an informational brochure about the initiative, two 1997 newsletters, and a publications list with ordering information. In addition, two information packets provide statistics on teen pregnancy, birth, and abortion rates, including breakdowns by state and by racial/ethnic group. The resource folder contains a summary of Douglas Kirby's 'No Easy Answers: Research Findings on Programs to Reduce Teen Pregnancy,' which describes challenges in evaluating various types of teen pregnancy prevention programs. It also includes 'Whatever Happened to Childhood?: The Problem of Teen Pregnancy in the United States,' which provides a variety of statistics in text and graphic forms to illustrate the scope, context, and consequences of teenage pregnancy. Finally, it contains 'Snapshots from the Front Line: Lessons about Teen Pregnancy Prevention from States and Communities,' which describes ten principles learned from site visits to state and local teen pregnancy prevention programs. The campaign's web site is also a good source for updated information about teen pregnancy in the U.S.
