1 answer
The CDC invested in educating teens about the risks of teen pregnancy to help reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies and the associated negative outcomes such as health risks for both the mother and baby, lower educational attainment, and increased likelihood of living in poverty. By educating teens about the risks and consequences of teen pregnancy, the CDC aims to empower them to make informed decisions about their sexual health and ultimately reduce the incidence of teen pregnancy.
