Why Is This Important?

Teenage pregnancy and childbearing are ongoing public health concerns and the focus of considerable public policy debate. Babies born to teenage mothers are at elevated risk of poor birth outcomes, including higher rates of low birth weight, preterm birth, and infant death. The limited educational, social, and financial resources often available to teenage mothers add to their higher risk profile.

Definition

The number of live births to females in a specific age group per 1,000 females in the age group.

Data Notes

Data for White and Black do not include Hispanics. Hispanic ethnicity includes persons of any race. The number of births to Asian females aged 15-17 years is too small to calculate reliable rates.

This is Healthy New Jersey 2020 (HNJ2020) Objective MCH-10.
