Preventive Medicine Jun 21, 2019
Salas-Wright CP, et al. - Using cross-sectional data (2002-2016, N=234,803) from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, researchers report updated trends in adolescent participation in prevention programming focusing on early pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States. From 2003 to 2016, a significant decrease from a high of 15% to a low of 7%, respectively, has been reported for youth participation in pregnancy and STI prevention programming, and this downward trend was significant even when controlling for age, gender, race/ethnicity, household income, and urbanicity. As for prevalence, a consistent pattern of variations was reported, with the highest levels of participation among African-American youth, followed by Hispanic, and then white youth.
