Summary

Many sexually active adolescent girls don’t use effective methods of birth control, which increases their risk for unintended pregnancy. There are also disparities in use of effective birth control by race/ethnicity, insurance status, and family income. Strategies to make sure more adolescents can get effective birth control is critical for reducing teen pregnancies, births, and abortions.
