South Carolina teen pregnancy data book 1994-2004

Abstract

Teen pregnancy events in the lives of South Carolina residents over the past decade are documented in this volume. SC teen pregnancy data has been presented for five commonly requested age groups of adolescents: 10-19, 10-14, 15-17, 18-19 and 15-19. Data is collected on pregnancy events (live births, abortions and reportable fetal deaths). Live births, fetal deaths and abortions occurring out-of-state to South Carolina residents are also included in this report. Event information is re-allocated to the state of residence through an agreement of interstate transcript exchange. Therefore the statistics presented should be representative of live births, abortions, and fetal deaths among SC residents.
