US Teen Birth Rate at Record Low

http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/04/10/u-s-teen-birth-rate-drops-to-a-record-low/

The teen birth rate has dropped 9 percent from last year, and is at a record low from 1946. The rate is 34 teen births per 1,000 women. A mixture of things have influenced this, including public programs for help, and increased use of various birth control methods. The US still falls behind other countries, such as Canada, which has 14 teen births per 1,000.
