Washington illustrates a seven year decline in teen births with 15 to 17 year olds hitting a record low. The 1997 to 1998 decline includes a 5 percent drop for high school age girls 15 to 17, now 30.4 births per 1000 teens, reflecting reduced sexual activity and increased use of long acting birth control and condoms amid AIDS fears. The AMA also releases a dementia care guide for primary physicians to diagnose and prevent elder abuse as the population ages.
