Western Maryland teen pregnancy rate shows lowest in state
In Western Maryland four counties report a teen birth rate below the state average, with Frederick recording 33.1 per 1000 girls aged 15 to 19 in 1990. Educators attribute declines to ongoing school programs, family life education, and a shift toward abstinence amid AIDS concerns.

Motorcycle deaths rise in Maryland after helmet law
Maryland police preliminary records show 45 motorcyclists died in the 12 months after the October 1992 helmet law, up from 40 the year before, while motorcyclist fatalities as a share of highway deaths fell from 8 percent to just under 7 percent. The American Motorcyclist Association notes safety benefits but opposes mandatory helmets, citing rider freedom and education needs. Experts say unhelmeted riders have higher risk of head injuries, while emergency rooms indicate injuries are easing overall.
