Explanation:
1. Parenting classes for teens who are neither pregnant nor parents do not address reducing teen pregnancy.
2. Confidential, low-cost contraceptive education and services are most likely to increase contraceptive use by teens who are sexually active and therefore decrease teen pregnancy rates.
3. Parents are the biggest influence on teens' decisions to begin or avoid sexual activity. Parents should be encouraged to talk openly and frankly with their teens about their views on sex, contraception, and abstinence.
4. Abstinence first with information on contraception is most effective in reducing teen pregnancy rates.
