If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

On a LARC.
Nearly all adults age 18-45 say they have all the information they need to avoid an unplanned pregnancy. Almost all say they have heard of birth control pills and condoms, and most say they have heard about the most effective methods of contraception (long-acting, reversible contraception or LARC). Even so, among those who have heard of LARC methods, most admit they know "little or nothing" about low maintenance, highly effective methods of birth control. See all the results in our latest Survey Says.

The 15th annual National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy will take place on May 6, 2015. On the National Day and throughout the month of May, teens nationwide will be asked to visit www.StayTeen.org to participate in our popular National Day Quiz, which challenges teens to think carefully about what they might do "in the moment." The message of the National Day is simple and straightforward: Sex has consequences. |

STDs in Space? STD Prevention Science Series Webinar

Can these tools provide insights into the underlying epidemiology of STDs and provide guidance for intervention? Join this CDC webinar with William C. Miller, MD, PhD, MPH on March 12, 2015: 11:00am - 12:00pm ET. (CDC, 2/19)

| There Are Some Good Trends on Today's Teens | | There Are Some Good Trends on Today's Teens
Bad news makes good headlines, so good news sometimes flies under the radar. It grabs people's attention that young people are burdened with unprecedented debt, or that marijuana use is increasing. But many indicators of youth well-being are improving. Because I work on maintaining the Child Trends Databank, I see these hopeful trends every day, and think it is important to sometimes emphasize the positive ones.
Among the most well-known of these positive trends is the steady decrease in teen pregnancies and teen births. President Obama cheered this trend in his State of the Union Address in January. In 1990, teen pregnancies had hit a high of 117 pregnancies per 1,000 teens. In 2010, the rate was less than half that. Teen births show a similar trend, falling from 62 to 27 births per 1,000 teens between 1991 and 2013. This is a positive story because teenage mothers, compared with older mothers, are less likely to finish high school or go on to college, and more likely to be dependent on government benefits, especially in the first years after giving birth.
Teens are also less likely to die than in past decades.Read more of this post |
