But here's the good news: teen pregnancies and AIDS threaten teens much less than they did a generation ago.goals
The new report was based on nine years of data from the respected, ongoing, nationally representative National Survey of Family Growth . The study included 3,941 girls and 4,005 boys aged 15 to 19. Sixty percent were non-Hispanic whites. One-quarter were Hispanic. And 14 percent were non-Hispanic and Black. More than half lived in suburbs, one-quarter in cities, and the rest in rural areas.
The new report also documents a small but noticeable decline in advice to teens to postpone partner sex until their wedding nights. The NSFG data show that during the 2011-2015 period, 73 percent of girls and 70 percent of boys received the wait-until-message. But from 2015 to 2019, only 67 percent of girls and 58 percent of boys received that message, a drop of 6 and 12 percent, respectively.
