ABSTRACT
Statements from public officials, social scientists, and private welfare organizations agree with rare unanimity that teenage pregnancy has reached epidemic proportions. The Planned Parenthood Association's Alan Guttmacher Institute calls its most recent report (1981) Teen Age Pregnancy: The Problem That Hasn't Gone Away. Its previous report (1976) was called 11 Million Teenagers: What Can Be Done About the Epidemic of Adolescent Pregnancies in the U.S. Apparently not much has been done.
