Teen Pregnancy in New Orleans: Factors that Differentiate Teens who Deliver, Abort, and Successfully Contracept.
Landry, Evelyn; And Others
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v15 n3 p259-74 Jun 1986
Three groups of teenagers (child bearers, terminators, and contraceptors) were interviewed to identify factors that may best differentiate the groups. The findings suggest that, among the teens who became pregnant, motivation to use contraceptives may be the key factor. Education about the availability and mode of contraceptive use is essential.
