Summary
Rates of pregnancy, birth and abortion among U.S. teenagers continued their downward
trend in 2000 (Table 1). Nationwide, the teenage pregnancy rate declined by 2% between
1999 and 2000 (from 85.7 to 83.6 pregnancies per 1,000 women aged 1519). From 1986
to 2000, the rate dropped by 22% and, more importantly, fell by 28% since peaking in
1990.
The birthrate for teenagers also declined by 2% between 1999 and 2000 (from 48.8 to
47.7 births per 1,000 women aged 1519). The 2000 rate was 5% lower than the 1986
rate and 23% lower than the peak rate of 61.8 births per 1,000 women reached in 1991.
Teenagers abortion rate in 2000 was 24.0 per 1,000 women aged 1519some 3%
lower than the 1999 rate of 24.7 per 1,000. From 1986 to 2000, the abortion rate dropped
by 43%; during the same period, the proportion of teenage pregnancies ending in abortion
fell from 46% to 33%a decline of more than one-quarter (27%).
White, black and Hispanic adolescents have experienced declines in pregnancy rates,
although to different extents (Table 1). Among black women aged 1519, the nationwide
pregnancy rate fell by 32% between 1990 and 2000 (from 224 to 153 per 1,000); among
white teenagers, it declined by 28% during that time (from 99 to 71 per 1,000). The
pregnancy rate among Hispanic teenagers, who may be of any race, increased from 162
to 170 per 1,000 women aged 1519 between 1990 and 1992, but then fell to 138 per
1,000 by 200015% below the 1990 rate.
Teenage pregnancy rates in 2000 varied widely by state, ranging from 42 pregnancies per
1,000 women aged 1519 in North Dakota to 113 per 1,000 in Nevada and 128 per 1,000
in the District of Columbia (Table 2). The highest state adolescent pregnancy rates after
Nevadas were in Arizona, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas. Vermont, New
Hampshire, Minnesota and Maine had the lowest rates after North Dakotas.
Teenage birthrates for 2000 also varied considerably by state (Table 2). The highest rates
(6671 births per 1,000 women aged 1519) were in Mississippi, Texas, Arizona,
Arkansas and New Mexico; in the District of Columbia, 56 births occurred per 1,000
teenage women. New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, North Dakota and Maine had
the lowest rates (2329 per 1,000).
Statewide teenage abortion rates were highest (3647 abortions per 1,000 women aged
1519) in New Jersey, New York, Maryland, California and Nevada (Table 2); the rate in
the District of Columbia was 55 per 1,000. Teenagers in Utah, South Dakota, Kentucky
and North Dakota had the lowest abortion rates (68 per 1,000).
Overall in 2000, one-third of pregnancies among 1519-year-olds ended in abortion
(Table 2). However, in New Jersey, 60% of teenage pregnancies ended in abortion, as did
at least 50% in New York, Massachusetts and the District of Columbia. By contrast, only

13% of pregnancies among teenagers in Kentucky and Utah ended in abortion; the
proportion was also relatively low (1516%) in Louisiana, Arkansas and South Dakota.
Between 1988 and 2000, teenage pregnancy rates declined in every state and in the
District of Columbia (Table 3). Teenage birthrates increased between 1988 and 1992 in
all but four states (Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire and New Jersey); birthrates then
fell in all states between 1992 and 2000. By 2000, they were lower than the 1998 rates in
all states except Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska and Texas. Teenage abortion rates between
1988 and 2000 declined in every state except Mississippi and Wyoming.
Of the states with available 2000 pregnancy data by race and Hispanic ethnicity (Table
4), Arkansas had the highest the pregnancy rate per 1,000 non-Hispanic white teenagers
(77 per 1,000). Pregnancy rates among this group were also high in other southern states:
Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky and South Carolina (7173 per 1,000). North
Dakota had the lowest pregnancy rate among non-Hispanic white teenagers (33 per
1,000).
Pregnancy rates per 1,000 black women aged 1519 were highest in New Jersey (209 per
1,000), and next highest in Wisconsin, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Oregon (161177 per
1,000). They were lowest in Utah, New Mexico, West Virginia, Rhode Island and
Colorado (71114 per 1,000).
Georgia, Arizona, Tennessee, Colorado and Delaware had the highest pregnancy rates
among Hispanic women aged 1519 (154169 per 1,000). In contrast, pregnancy rates
among Hispanic teenagers were lowest in Mississippi, Missouri, South Dakota and Ohio
(71115 per 1,000).
Overall, approximately 822,000 pregnancies occurred among women aged 1519 in
2000; roughly two-thirds of these pregnancies were among 1819-year-olds (Table 5). In
general, states with the largest numbers of teenagers also had the greatest number of
teenage pregnancies. California reported the highest number of adolescent pregnancies
(113,000), followed by Texas, New York, Florida and Illinois (with about 37,00080,000
each). The smallest numbers of teenage pregnancies were in Vermont, North Dakota,
Wyoming, South Dakota and Alaska, all of which reported fewer than 2,000 pregnancies
among women aged 1519.
This report concludes with a series of tables that were used to calculate rates of
pregnancy, birth and abortion in 2000, including numbers of teenage pregnancies, births,
abortions and miscarriages, as well as population counts (Tables 59). A parallel set of
tables of 1999 data (Tables 1016) follows the 2000 set.
The preparation of this report was made possible by grants from the Marion Cohen
Memorial Foundation and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.

About the Tables

Data Sources and Methodology
The data sources and methods for estimating state teenage pregnancy rates in 1999 and
2000 are similar to those used to measure pregnancy rates for 1996 and 1992.1
Pregnancies are calculated as the sum of births, miscarriages (including stillbirths) and
abortions. The number of births to teenagers in each state and teenage birthrates were
obtained from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).2 The number of
miscarriages was estimated as 20% of births plus 10% of abortions; these proportions
attempt to account for miscarriages that occur after the pregnancy has lasted long enough
to be noticed by the woman (67 weeks after her last menstrual period).3
The annual numbers of abortions in each state for 1987, 1988, 1991, 1992, 1995, 1996,
1999 and 2000 were calculated from survey data that The Alan Guttmacher Institute
(AGI) collected from all known abortion providers. Data for other years were
interpolated from the AGI numbers, after adjustment for annual trends based on state
health department data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.4
The national numbers of abortions by age, race and Hispanic ethnicity were estimated
from distributions that we obtained by summing state health department data, after
accounting for year-to-year changes in the reporting states.* In 2000, however, data on
the race and ethnicity of teenagers having abortions were incomplete in 29 states.
The numbers of teenage abortions by state of residence were calculated from the number
of abortions performed in each state for women of all ages (residents and nonresidents),
which we estimated from the AGI provider surveys. We reassigned abortions to the
womans state of residence on the basis of information provided by state abortion
reporting agencies. In 2000, for six states where complete residence-based information
was unavailable, we asked a sample of abortion facilities for information about the state
in which women obtaining abortions said they lived. To estimate the number of
nonresidents who had abortions in each state, we applied the percentage distribution of
women having abortions, by state of residence, to our count of the total number of
abortions that took place in each state.
Of the state residents having abortions, the proportion who were aged 1517 and 1819
and members of the various racial and ethnic groups were taken from state health
department reports. For states with no information on the age of women having abortions
in 2000, we estimated the proportion of abortions obtained by teenagers by using several
measures, including the national distribution, the distribution from neighboring or nearby
and demographically similar states, and historical distributions from the state (see notes
to tables for state-specific calculation methods).

Our calculation methods assume that teenagers travel outside their home state for
abortion services in the same proportions as older women. This assumption may not be
valid in states where minors travel out-of-state to avoid parental involvement
requirements or in states to which teenagers travel.
For 19902000, NCHS recently released revised population estimates based on the
results of the 2000 census. To maintain comparability with prior years, these estimates
convert the multiple race responses for an individual from the 2000 decennial census into
a single response.5 Thus we have recalculated all 19901999 rates using updated
denominators. Furthermore, NCHS publishes birthrates with April 1 population
denominators for the decennial census years, and with July 1 denominators for other
years. To maintain consistency, we have based all rates on July 1 denominators.

Interpreting the Data

Because health department abortion statistics are incomplete or nonexistent in many
states, care should be used in interpreting the teenage abortion and pregnancy data. For
the states with no information on the age of women having abortions, the teenage
abortion rate was estimated. Similarly, error is introduced by the assumption that
teenagers have abortions out-of-state in the same proportions as older women. Therefore,
one cannot draw inferences about the effects of parental involvement requirements on the
number of abortions obtained by minors.
Births and abortions are reported according to the womans age at the time of the event,
not the age at which she became pregnant; teenage pregnancy rates are therefore
understated. For example, the rate for women aged 1819 would be higher than that
shown if pregnancies beginning at age 19 and ending at age 20 were included.

Guttmacher Institute, 1992, p. 164.
The six states were Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts and New
Hampshire. In addition, we assumed that no out-of-state women obtained abortions in
Alaska, and that for California, the percentage (0.5%) and distribution of out-of-state
abortions in 2000 was the same as those in 1982, the last year for which this information
is available.
These states were Alaska, California, Florida, New Hampshire and Wyoming.
In 1996 only, we used age-specific data on state of residence for some states.

denominator excludes miscarriages and stillbirths.
Notes: In this and subsequent tables, data are tabulated according to the womans age at the pregnancy outcome and, for births, according to
the mothers race (not the childs). Numbers and rates may differ slightly from those published previously because we revised the number of
abortions in 1993 through 1997 and used population estimates that came from the 2000 census. u=unavailable.

because minors may have traveled to other states for abortion services. Numbers of pregnancies, pregnancy rates and
abortion rates in parentheses include abortions obtained by Hispanic women; in these states, 10% of births to white women
1519 were to Hispanics. u=unavailable.

*Rounded to the nearest 10; includes estimated number of pregnancies ending in miscarriage or stillbirth.
Abortion estimates are based on the number of abortions to all women in the state and the proportion of
abortions obtained by women of the same age nationally. Abortion estimates are based on the number of
abortions among all women in the state and the proportion of abortions obtained by women of the same age in
neighboring or similar states. Abortion estimates are based on the number of abortions among all women in
the state and the average proportion of abortions obtained by women of the same age in Wyoming in 1992,
1996 and 1999.
Note: Even though abortions have been tabulated according to state of residence where possible, in states with
parental notification or consent requirements for minors, the number of pregnancies may be too low because
minors have traveled to other states for abortion services.

*Rounded to the nearest 10. <5 abortions.

Notes: Numbers of pregnancies include estimates of the numbers of miscarriages and stillbirths. Numbers of pregnancies
and abortions in parentheses include abortions obtained by Hispanic women; in these states 10% of births to white women
1519 were to Hispanics. Even though abortions have been tabulated according to state of residence where possible, in
states with parental notification or consent requirements for minors, the number of abortions and pregnancies may be too
low because minors have traveled to other states for abortion services. u=unavailable.

because minors may have traveled to other states for abortion services. Numbers of pregnancies, pregnancy rates and abortion
rates in parentheses include abortions obtained by Hispanic women; in these states, 10% of births to white women 1519 were
to Hispanics. u=unavailable.

*Rounded to the nearest 10. <5 abortions or miscarriages/stillbirths. Abortion estimates are based on the
number of abortions among all women in the state and the proportion of abortions obtained by women of the same
age nationally. Abortion estimates are based on the number of abortions among all women in the state and the
proportion of abortions obtained by women of the same age in neighboring or similar states.
Note: Even though abortions have been tabulated according to state of residence where possible, in states with
parental notification or consent requirements for minors, the number of abortions and miscarriages may be too
low because minors have traveled to other states for abortion services.

*Estimated as 20% of births plus 10% of abortions and rounded to the nearest 10. <5
miscarriages/stillbirths.
Notes: Numbers of miscarriages and stillbirths in parentheses include those estimated from
abortions obtained by Hispanic women; in these states 10% of births to white women 1519
were to Hispanics. Even though abortions have been tabulated according to state of
residence where possible, in states with parental notification or consent requirements for
minors, the number of miscarriages and stillbirths may be too low because minors have
traveled to other states for abortion services. u=unavailable.
