Unit 7 Discussion focus on incidence rates and interventions related to teen pregnancy

This week’s discussion will focus on incidence rates and interventions related to teen pregnancy.

Use the internet or other resources to find the incidence and frequency rates of teenage pregnancy in your community or in your state. What do you think are the primary factors that contribute to these rates (whether they are high or low) and influence high risk sexual behaviors? How does positive relationships with parents associate with lower teen pregnancy?

Review the case study in Box 9.1 on page 199 of the textbook. What do you think were the greatest influences on her situation? How would you advocate for Susan? What referrals would you make or resources would you recommend? What ethical interventions would an advocate need to consider when working with Susan?
