The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention released birth statistics in April 2010 that show a decrease in 2008 of teenage births in the United States after increasing in 2006 and 2007. The U.S. teen birth rate dropped almost two percent between 2007 and 2008. As seen in the figure to the right, the largest decrease is seen in older teenagers, age 18 to 19 years old.

The User Guide gives an introduction to PCSA data, provides examples of how PCSA data can be used, includes a glossary of terms and abbreviations, and lists PCSA categories and indicators found in SAVI. PCSA data cover the availability of medical providers and utilization of health care by Medicare recipients. A thorough understanding of the data is required for constructive analysis.
