Teen Pregnancy Numbers

We're so thrilled that Alabama as well as all the four counties we serve saw declines in their teen pregnancy numbers from 2011. Not just a decline, but Alabama teen pregnancy rate reached an ALL TIME LOW. Want to know the details? Here are the teen pregnancy rates from 2010 to 2011. Congratulations Alabama teens! Here's to watching those numbers go down every year. Below you can see the rates for 2010 and 2011 as well as a graph showing what a difference the last ten years has made. A big thank you to the Alabama Campaign to prevent Teen Pregnancy for these graphs.
