Pregnancy in the young teenage woman.
Since 1967 the number of delivered young teenage women has gradually decreased. During the same period the number of therapeutic abortions among these young women has increased, probably to a sufficient extent to explain the decreased nativity. There is no evidence in this study of any effect of more extended sex and contraceptive education in schools.
