From the Paper
"A standard definition from the Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing and Allied Health would describe this termination of pregnancy as, "-is the termination of pregnancy before the fetus is viable. In the medical sense, the terms abortion and miscarriage both refer to the termination of pregnancy, before the fetus is capable of survival outside the uterus. In general language, however, abortion most often refers to a deliberate interruption of pregnancy, whereas miscarriage connotes a spontaneous or natural loss of the fetus". A study conducted in Iowa, United States, showed more prevalent rates of abortions or induced terminations rather than miscarriages or spontaneous ones, and that even amongst younger women on a general trend."

They provide a donation button on their Web site, and have several local programs where citizens can donate a variety of equipment and funds. The ask for donations of baby and expecting mother necessities, such as baby bottles, clothing, formula, diapers, cribs, and more.

Teen-aged Pregnancy, 2008.
This paper is a proposal to study the relationship of culture and attitudes to teen-aged pregnancies.

Abstract
This paper explains that, for at least a century in North America, the phenomenon of teen-aged pregnancy has been examined as social malady with its pathology in questions of low morality or education, sexual abuse, low self-esteem or other defects of the affected girl. The author points out that there is relatively little research on how a pregnancy may directly harm the teen-aged girl. The paper proposes a project of straightforward functionalism to gain possibly new insights into how this phenomenon originates and how it continues when North American girls mainly are well informed as to reproduction, birth control and the non-desirability of teen-aged pregnancy. The author underscores that some cultures regard teen-aged pregnancy as less negative than a much abhorred termination of pregnancy.

"All persons to express interest in becoming participants in the project, or those merely wishing to ask about its nature and aims, will be assured verbally of the confidentiality of what they, or someone they know, may choose to contribute. When a person is contacted with a brief questionnaire a formal written guarantee of confidentiality will be provided that explains clearly the purposes of the research and its potential uses. The imperatives of confidentiality and explaining a sound agenda of research in terms of wanting to clarify why teenaged pregnancy occurs and attitudes towards it are obvious."

Abstract
Pregnancy is a major life event for all women. However, when a psychiatric disorder is added to or exacerbated by the pregnancy then the problem requires expert knowledge from more than one area of medicine. This paper looks at pregnancy and the relationship with depression, eating disorders, and pathological fear of childbirth or tokophobia. It also examines the outcome for these women and their babies. Mental illness is a serious concern. It is now recognised that death from suicide is the leading cause of maternal death overall. Research in these areas is relatively sparse but an attempt is made to collate what is known.

From the Paper
"Although the state of pregnancy is both normal for, and often desired by, women in early adulthood, it is not uncommon to experience anxiety at the physical and emotional consequences of the gravid state. It is not the purpose of this paper to comment on psychiatric and psychological descriptions of the "normal" pregnant woman but concentrate on some pathological psychiatric conditions that may effect pregnant women. Anxiety and fear of pregnancy and childbirth are documented features of eating disorders, mood disorders, and pathological dread and avoidance of childbirth or tokophobia. "

Abstract
While the pundits debate on the best way to educate young people about the risks associated with early pregnancies, tens of thousands of babies in the United States will continue to suffer from the physical and emotional problems associated with early teen pregnancies; the social welfare system appears to be contributing to this phenomenon. This paper provides an overview of teen pregnancy in the United States today and examines the impact of social welfare programs on encouraging and maintaining the high rate of teen pregnancies. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Almost 80 percent of teen mothers eventually go on welfare which comprise more than 59 percent of the social welfare caseload. In fact, more than 75 percent of all unmarried teen mothers received welfare within five years of giving birth to their first child. The data for 1995 shows that 69 percent of births to teens in a five-year period were paid for by Medicaid or other government sources (?Adolescent Pregnancy and Childbearing in the U.S.,? 2001, 10). Teen pregnancies have also been associated with reduced educational attainment and employment opportunities. The research shows that less than one-third of teens who begin their families before age 18 ever complete high school. When compared to children born to women aged 20 and older, babies born to mothers aged 15-17 have poorer health, lower cognitive development, reduced educational attainments, and higher rates of behavior problems (?Adolescent Pregnancy and Childbearing in the U.S.,? 2001, 10-11). Although the teen pregnancy rate (the number of pregnancies per 1,000 teenage women) decreased to 101 in 1995 (the lowest level since 1975), nevertheless each year nearly one million American teenage women become pregnant, and four out of ten American teenage women become pregnant before the age of 20. During this same period, the outcome of teenage pregnancies has changed. Sixty-three percent of pregnant teenagers gave birth and 22 percent had abortions in 1995 compared to 1983 data which shows that 47 percent of teenagers gave birth and 43 percent had abortions (?Adolescent Pregnancy and Childbearing in the U.S.,? 2001, 2). The vast majority of teens who give birth prefer to keep their babies; in fact, fewer than 10 percent of teenagers who delivered babies chose adoption in 1995."

Abstract
This paper examines the issue of teen pregnancy and how the state of Nevada in particular has attempted to find solutions to this problem. The term teen pregnancy is defined and statistics presented. It looks at how Nevada has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the nation. Teens begin to have sex before the age of 16 and most teens who become pregnant report that they began having sex because their boyfriend wanted them to. It also discusses how reducing pregnancy in Nevada teens is important because of the negative social and financial impact that teen pregnancy has on the citizens of the state.
From the Paper
"At any given time in the state of Nevada there are at least 13 pregnant teens. Before one can begin to understand the impact teen pregnancy has on the nation and on the residents of Nevada one must first have an understanding of the definition of teen pregnancy. Teen pregnancy for the purpose of this paper and for the purpose of research is a female that resides within the state of Nevada and is between the ages of 10 and 17 years old. She has been confirmed as pregnant through an accepted medical test. Teen pregnancy is an important issue in the state of Nevada because of the impact the extrapolated issues bring to the residents of the state. Because of those negative results it is vital that the state get control of and reduce the number of teenage pregnancy(Nevada Teen Pregnancy http://health2k.state.nv.us/cah/factsandstats.doc). "

Abstract
Adolescent pregnancy has long been a societal concern, but in the past decade, this issue has become one of the most frequently cited examples of the perceived societal decay in the United States. This paper shows that, despite the recent decline in teen birth rates, pregnancy in this group remains a significant problem in America, and it is a problem that impacts nearly every community. The paper argues that the responsibility to solve this problem lies with all of us, including families, communities, and young people themselves. The paper includes a graph.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The younger the teenage mother is, the higher the chances are that she and her baby will have health problems. This is mainly due to late prenatal care (if any) and poor nutrition. (21) An adolescent mother and her baby may not get enough nutrients and, because the mother's body is not fully mature, she may have many complications throughout the duration of the pregnancy. (22) Along with the mother, the children of teenage parents too often become part of a cycle of poor health, school failure, and poverty."

Abstract
This paper explains that many factors contribute to teen pregnancies and not all of them deal with the lack of knowledge of safe-sex: The absence of fathers as a positive male role-model in girls' lives, molestation, rape, incest and peer pressure. The author points out that many teen moms face a great deal of decisions from what to do with this new child, to finishing high school or to marry the father. The paper stresses that one of the biggest concerns of adolescent mothers is how her parents are going to react to the new member of the family especially if the new grandchild is to become a member of the household.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Preventing teen pregnancy can be achieved through many different ways. Not only is parental involvement key, but the idea of having sex education in schools also helps to educate young people about the risks involved with having sex, along with the possibility to getting pregnant. Waiting for marriage has grown to becoming a popular view amongst many teens today. This important message sets boundaries for many adolescents as they realize the consequences of becoming teen parents. Besides teaching 'no sex,' many are taught about 'safe sex.' The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concluded in a recent report that there has been a decrease in sexual activity and an increase in contraceptive use, contributing almost equally to the decline in adolescent pregnancy since the 1990s. The researchers reported that efforts to prevent pregnancy in adolescents should continue to focus on delaying the onset of sexual activity and increasing the use of effective contraceptives."

Gestational Diabetes and Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension, 2008.
This paper discusses gestational diabetes and looks at whether there is a connection with pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that gestational diabetes affects only a very small percentage of all pregnant mothers. The writer further notes that pregnancy-induced hypertension is found in about the same proportion of pregnant mothers as is gestational diabetes. The writer points out that weight gain during pregnancy predicts very high risk for gestational diabetes, along with other problems such as pregnancy-induced hypertension, Cesarean section and stillbirth. The writer provides a literature review and discusses whether there is a link between gestational diabetes and pregnancy-induced hypertension so that they can be treated together. The writer maintains that the treatment of women with gestational diabetes, along with health teaching, which involves dietary advice, blood glucose monitoring, and insulin therapy, results in a reduction of serious perinatal outcomes such as death or bone fracture. Other benefits include improved health-related quality of life among women with gestational diabetes, both during the antenatal period and three months after birth, as well as a possible reduction in the incidence of postnatal depression.

Analysis
From the Paper
"Haakova and Cibula found in their retrospective study with data obtained from medical records that women who have polycystic ovary syndrome, which is a common endocrine disorder, that there are no important differences in the prevalence of gestational diabetes or of pregnancy-induced hypertension. Even though the two groups in the study were matched for age, weight, family history, and patient history, both gestational diabetes and hypertension were similar for those groups. However, as these researchers note, a high incidence of pregnancy induced hypertension has been found in several other studies of women with polycystic ovary syndrome, so that there may be a link between hyperinsulinaemia and hypertension during pregnancy.
"Lifestyle interventions also constitute the primary treatment for gestational diabetes."

Abstract
The paper explains the demographic and epidemiological changes in society that have lead to an increased risk of diabetes simultaneously with pregnancy. The paper relates that diabetes mellitus occurring simultaneously with pregnancy is a risk factor that is multi-causal and can put mother and child at increased risk for severe and even fatal complications. The paper explains in detail the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus in its various forms and its implications for the pregnancy and fetus.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The increasing incidence of diabetes mellitus is described by some as epidemic in proportion. The concern regarding the disease is often linked to the increased incidence of refined foods, and especially sugars, as well as increased reports of sedentary living, that are both associated with the modern world. Increases in such behavioral concerns, as the above compounded by the fact that there is a positive link between overweight and obesity (also caused by poor nutrition and sedentary lifestyle) increases the incidence of one of the several types of diabetes mellitus."

Ending Teen Pregnancy, 2005.
A look at how best to reduce the rate of teen pregnancy.
894 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 31.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper points out that, while the teen pregnancy rate is declining, it is still a significant societal problem that must be addressed. The paper further points out that previous methods of reducing the teen pregnancy rate typically targeted teenage females only and did not include the male counterpart; this approach makes efforts to reduce the teen pregnancy rate less effective. Instead, the paper argues that the teen pregnancy rate will dramatically decline if both male and female teens are encouraged to take a more active role in their romantic relationships so that they will more readily discuss the use of contraceptive with their potential sexual partner.
From the Paper
"Although teen pregnancy rates are at a historic low, teen pregnancies still occur at alarming rates ("U.S. Pregnancy Rate Down from Peak; Births and Abortions on the Decline"), and America still has the highest teen pregnancy rate of any major industrialized nation (Hunt). For the teens experiencing those pregnancies, there is little consolation in the fact that the national trend is towards lower teen pregnancy rates. Therefore, the challenge for a successful teen pregnancy prevention program is targeting those teens that are most at risk of becoming sexually active and possibly pregnant. Because research suggests that the majority of teens consider themselves as part of a couple when they engaged in their first sexual activity (Ryan), pregnancy-prevention efforts should be aimed at teens involved in relationship."

Abstract
This paper discusses data from various sources including the National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBSS) by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which provides current data every two years about the prevalence of health risk behaviors, including sexual behaviors of high school students' grades 9-12. The author points out that distribution, determinants, negative and positive outcomes and prevention programs are all included in current epidemiological studies. The paper also relates that the surveillance of prevention programs are conducted periodically to provide data to improve prevention programs such as polling parents to gather data for future curriculum changes in pregnancy prevention.
Table of Contents:
Epidemiological Data Collection
Elements of Epidemiology
Pregnancy Prevention Programs
Current Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program Statistics
Future Considerations for Pregnancy Prevention Programs
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The initial data collected for epidemiological studies in teen pregnancy mostly identified the issue and collected information about the risk factors and participants. Program evaluation is a continuous process of measuring effectiveness of programs. Prevention programs should include content to address primary prevention, or preventing first time pregnancies, and secondary prevention, or unplanned pregnancies occurring after the first pregnancy."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at how Sawhill builds her case for the policies she puts forth regarding the prevention of teen pregnancy. The writer shows how Sawhill first begins her work by establishing the issue and her reasoning behind focusing on teen pregnancy which statistically appears to be a declining problem in the United States. The writer then looks at how she examines the points that support a declining teen pregnancy population as well as factors which indicate that this is not necessarily a reality.
The writer demonstrates that Sawhill continues to build her case by examining the efforts that have been made by a variety of entities, to include government and community groups, to prevent teen pregnancy in the country. Further the writer shows that through analysis of previous research and facts Sawhill makes determinations on these efforts, and then uses these facts to formulate recommendations on the issue. Sawhill's recommendations are then presented.
