Despite recent, dramatic declines in U.S. teenage pregnancy and birth
rates, these rates continue to be much higher than in most other comparable
developed countries. A new multiyear study, conducted with researchers
from Canada, Great Britain, France and Sweden, explores why these differences
in teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases exist and what can
be done.
