The risk of adolescent pregnancy in the first months of intercourse
Family Planning Perspectives
|July 1, 1979
Abstract:
Because of early age at initiation of intercourse and associated nonuse of contraception, half of first premarital pregnancies to teens occur in the first six months after they begin coitus; one-fifth occur in the first month. Programs to prevent adolescent pregnancy will not succeed unless they reach young people before they begin sexual activity.
