An analysis of data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) finds that 82 percent of sexually active teenage mothers were using contraceptives in the year following the birth of their first child; the majority of those who practiced contraception used the pill. The proportion of black teenagers using no method of birth control was higher than that for white teenagers, and it increased over the course of the year. Rates of nonuse were particularly high among black women younger than 18, only 68 percent of whom practiced contraception (compared with 85 percent of whites the same age). Examination of the data by marital status shows that women who married while they were pregnant were the most likely to practice contraception in the year following their first birth, while those who were single at the time of first birth were the least likely to do so (89 versus 74 percent). Blacks constituted the majority of women who were not married at the time of first birth, and of all marital subgroups, single blacks had the highest rate of nonuse (29 percent). The probability of a pregnancy during the year following a first birth for all teenage mothers was 17 percent. Pregnancy rates among women with incomes less than 150 percent of poverty level were nearly twice as high as rates among women who had incomes above that level--21 percent vs. 11 percent.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

PIP: An analysis of data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) finds that 82% of sexually active teenage mothers were using contraceptives in the year following the birth of their 1st child, the majority of those who practiced contraception using the pill. The proportion of black teenagers using no method of birth control was higher than that for white teenagers, and it increased over the course of the year. Rates of nonuse were particularly high among black women younger than 18, only 68% of whom practiced contraception (compared with 85% of whites the same age). Examination of the data by marital status shows that women who married while they were pregnant were the most likely to practice contraception in the year following their 1st birth, while those who were single at the time of 1st birth were the least likely to do so (89 versus 74%). Blacks constituted the majority of women who were not married at the time of 1st birth, and of all marital subgroups, single blacks had the highest rate of nonuse (29%). The probability of a pregnancy during the year following a 1st birth for all teenage mothers was 17%. Pregnancy rates among women with incomes less than 150% of poverty level were nearly twice as high as rates among women who had incomes above that level--21% verses 11%. Only 20% of teenagers who became pregnant in the year following their 1st birth planned the 2nd pregnancy, and about 70% of the women who had unplanned pregnancies had not been using a method in the month prior to conception. The negative consequences of teenage childbearing, including the mother's decreased prospects for education, economic well-being and marital stability, have all been documented. Furthermore, women who start childbearing in their teens have more children, have them closer together , bear more unwanted children and have more out-of-wedlock births than do women who delay it.
