Iowa teen pregnancy statistics from state health reports
The Iowa State Department of Health cites that in 1978 about one in five U S births were to teens and a large share were unplanned. National figures show one-fourth of women had a child by 20 and teen births out of wedlock comprised one-third, with teens making up half of such cases. Linn County recorded 137 births to teen mothers and total county deliveries reached 2 533 that year.
