Recently released online, this document, introduced in January, 1997, by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is the first annual report on the progress of the National Strategy to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. The report does contain some good news-teen birth rates have decreased nationally and in all states since 1991, falling twelve percent nationally and sixteen percent or more in seventeen states. The report contains statistics and analysis of teen birth and pregnancy rates, by age and race. It also details the strategies and partnerships forged by the HHS to continue this encouraging trend. Appendixes include Teenage Birth Rates in the United States, National and State Trends, 1990-96, an overview of various HHS teen pregnancy provision programs, and Teen Parent Provisions by State.
