Projected Public Sector Savings in a Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program.
Vincent, Murray L.; And Others
Journal of Health Education, v22 n4 p208-13 Jul-Aug 1991
Broad-based community education strategies implemented in a rural South Carolina county to prevent unintended teen pregnancy showed reductions in pregnancy among teens from 1984-87. The reduced numbers realized a 20-year projected savings of $611,688 in public sector costs. Tables display data for this and comparison counties. (SM)
