Tackling Teen Pregnancy

by Corinne Ellis
During the past seven years Oregon has put in motion a plan to reduce teen pregnancy and improve the quality of sexual health education in public schools. This plan was introduced in 2009 as a concept of what sex education could look like. Just three years after the plan was created, the rate of unplanned teenage births among females age 15-19 in Oregon had dropped from 4.8 percent to 3.2 percent.
