Explanation:
1. Teens with future goals such as college or a job tend to use birth control more consistently compared with other teens; if they become pregnant, they are also more likely to have abortions.
2. Having a mother or a sister who had her first child during adolescence is a risk for a teen to become pregnant.
3. When the first birth occurs in the early teen years, the next birth also is likely to occur prior to adulthood.
4. In the United States, the adolescent birth rate is higher among African American teens and Hispanic teens than among Caucasian teens.
5. When teens in poverty become pregnant, they are more likely to maintain the pregnancy and view the birth as a way to be seen as an adult. Middle-class teens are more likely to have future education and career goals, use contraception, and seek therapeutic abortion if they become pregnant.
