Answer 1

3,4,5
Rationale 1: If a teen's mother or sister had a child during her teens, the teen is also more likely to have a child during adolescence.
Rationale 2: Adolescents who participate in afterschool activities are less likely to be sexually experienced, and therefore less likely to become pregnant as an adolescent.
Rationale 3: Pregnant adolescents with plans for the future such as college or a job are more likely to use contraception consistently, and more likely to choose abortion if they do become pregnant.
Rationale 4: The younger the patient is at first pregnancy, the more likely she is to have another pregnancy during her adolescence.
Rationale 5: Adolescents from low-income families are more likely to become pregnant than are their middle-class peers.
