Study finds 780000 teen pregnancies yearly in US
A Johns Hopkins survey of 1976 shows contraceptives prevented about 680000 pregnancies among unwed teen girls in one year and more could be stopped with broader access. The study challenges the belief that access increases sexual activity and abortions and urges easier clinic, pharmacy, and peer-based distribution of birth control. It notes 55 percent of 18 to 19 year olds use contraception at first intercourse, versus 25 percent under 15, and calls for better risk information and backup abortion services. HEW Secretary Califano seeks $60 million yearly for local teen pregnancy services matching grants.
