Answer:
Decreases in teen pregnancy rates are partially due to lower rates of activity among young women. Also, more of those who are active appear to be using birth control than in previous years. Several federal programs have made reducing teen pregnancy a high priority.Birth rates fell 7% for females aged 15 to 17 years and 4% for females aged 18 to 19 years. Although reasons for the declines are not totally clear, evidence suggests these declines are due to more teens abstaining from activity, and more teens who are active using birth control than in previous years.
