More Progress.
Late last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics released new teen birth data broken out by race/ethnicity. Among the encouraging findings:
- Between 1991 and 2014, teen birth rates have declined by 70% for non-Hispanic black teens, 64% among Hispanic teens, 68% for American Indian/Alaska Native teens, and by 60% among non-Hispanic white teens.
- Recent declines have been particularly steep among Hispanic teens; rates have plummeted 50% just since 2007.
- Even with these impressive gains, it's important to note that 2014 rates for non-Hispanic black (34.9) and Hispanic teens (38.0) remain far higher (roughly twice) compared to rates for non-Hispanic white teens (17.3).
