Teen Girls at Risk for Unintended Pregnancies Who Use Birth Control

State: Hawaii
Measurement Period: 2021
This indicator shows the percent of sexually active public high school female students in grades 9-12 who used effective birth control the last time they had sexual intercourse.

Why is this important?

Unintended pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of morbidity for mothers, and with health behaviors during pregnancy that are associated with adverse effects. For example, adolescent females with an unintended pregnancy may delay prenatal care, which may affect the health of the infant. Information from parents and healthcare providers can help adolescents decide which birth control methods to choose.
