The document compares adolescent pregnancy rates between the United States and Sweden. It reports that the United States has the highest rate of adolescent pregnancies among developed nations at 57 per 1,000 women, while Sweden's rate is lower at 29 per 1,000. Prevention strategies differ between the two countries, with Sweden emphasizing free access to contraception, abortions, and education about safe sex practices.

There is an urgent need for effective, sustainable child obesity prevention strategies. Progress toward this goal requires strengthening current approaches to add a component that addresses pregnancy onward. Altering early-life systems that promote intergenerational transmission of obesity holds promise for interrupting the continuing cycle of the obesity epidemic. A 2011 Institute of
Medicine (IOM) report emphasizes the need for interventions early in life to prevent obesity. A 2010 IOM report called for addressing gaps in existing obesity research evidence by using a systems perspective, simultaneously addressing interacting obesity promoting factors in multiple sectors and at multiple societal levels. A review of evidence from basic science, prevention, and systems
research supports an approach that (1) begins at the earliest stages of development, and (2) uses a systems framework to simultaneously implement health behavior and environmental changes in communities.

Teen pregnancy in the United States
Teen pregnancy in the United States
The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy was founded in 1996 and has its headquarters in Washington D.C. and has nearly 200 organizations and media outlets which serve as partners. The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy’s main agenda seeks to improve the lives and future prospects of children and families by ensuring that children are born into stable, two-parent families who have a commitment to and are ready for the demanding task of raising the next generation. Their strategy is aimed at the prevention of teen pregnancy and unplanned pregnancy among single, young adults by supporting a combination of responsible values and behavior by both men and women and responsible policies in both the public and private sectors. Their actions are aimed at improving child and family well-being therefore reducing the prevalence rate of poverty by providing more opportunities for the teenagers to complete their education or achieve other life goals while advocating for fewer abortions towards the creation of a stronger nation.
Teenage pregnancies have resulted to a total of 273,105 babies who were born to women aged 15–19 years, for a live birth rate of 26.5% per 1,000 women in this age group. There has been a decline in teen pregnancies with a drop of 10% in 2013. The birth rates declined at 13% for women aged 15–17 years, and 8% for women aged 18–19 years (Child Trends, 2014). Still, the U.S. teen pregnancy rate is substantially higher than in other western industrialized nations (Clay, et al, 2012). The national teen pregnancy rate has been declining steadily over the last two decades which has been attributed to the combination of an increased percentage of adolescents who are waiting to have sexual intercourse and the increased use of contraceptives by teens. The teen pregnancy rate includes the pregnancies that end in a live birth, as well as those that end in abortion or miscarriage resulting from fetal loss. In the United States 4 in 10 teens get pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20 which leads to the teenagers dropping out of school with more than 50% of teen mothers never completing school. The trends show that less than 10% of the fathers marry the mother of their child and that almost a half of the teen mothers get their second child within the first 24 months since 80% of teens who do not use protective methods have higher chances of becoming pregnant.
Teen birth rates have been declining significantly in the recent years, however, despite these declines, there still exists a lot of disparities that need to be properly addressed (Dessen, 2005). There are substantial disparities that persist in teen birth rates, and teen pregnancy and childbearing which continue to carry significant social and economic costs. In 2013, the Hispanic teen birth rates were still more than two times higher than the rate for ...

Adolescent SexTeen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases c.docxrhetttrevannion
Adolescent Sex
Teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases continue to be an important healthcare issue in the 20
th
century.
Although teen pregnancy rates have dropped there are still concerns and healthcare problems that are associated with teen pregnancy. Often times they are afraid to discuss sex with their parents and deny will deny being sexually active at all.
There are problems that manifest with
adolescent pregnancy for the mother and often times the infants as well.
The high school drop out rate among pregnant high school students is approximated at about
70 percent and is cited as the number reason teens drop out prior to graduation.
There is also an estimated $7 billion revenue cost associated with teen pregnancy in the United States alone. The risk of young people engaging in early sexual intercourse is largely due to the lack of sexual education, peer pressure and social influences.
Why does teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases remain high in the U.S.
Chlamydial infection, gonorrhea, HIV/AIDS, primary and secondary syphilis, and hepatitis B virus infection are amid the highest reported STDs with chlamydia noted as the most dominate which is likely due to the fact that there is more vigorous testing.
Some of the other noted STDs are genital herpes, trichomoniasis, Chancroid, and HPV.
Often times and without any signs or symptoms present more than one pathogen is involved with sexually transmitted diseases. Typically the only environments in which there remain viable pathogens is the bodily fluids from the genitourinary tract requiring there to be intimate contact for them to be acquired.
Although it affects men and women chlamydia is predominately seen in young women and is the most common nationally known sexually transmitted disease in the U.S.
Bodily fluids from the genitourinary tract are typically the environments in which there remain viable pathogens, so intimate contact is generally required to obtain STDs.
Chlamydia infections are asymptomatic in most women and can be transmitted during childbirth with the
potential of a newborn developing pneumonia as a complication.
If it is not treated
chlamydia can spread to the uterus and fallopian tube creating further health problems and permanent damage to the reproductive system.
Teaching abstinence is the most affective way to prevent pregnancy and STDs but sexuality and curiosity of sex begins at a young age and exploration into sexuality is a natural part of personal development.
It is our
role and responsibility as healthcare providers to provide adolescents and teens with the information and risk factors involved with having sex.
They need to be educated on contraceptives, pregnancy and STD prevention.
There is an urgent need for programs that adequately addresses the impacts of peer groups, social norms and the influences they have on an adolescent’s decision about having sex

Selection Bias in the Link Between Child Wantedness

Abstract We examine the potential effects of selection bias on the association between
unwanted births and child mortality from 7,942 women from Matlab, Bangladesh who
declared birth intentions in 1990 prior to conceiving pregnancies. We explore and test
two opposing reasons for bias in the distribution of observed births. First, some women
who report not wanting more children could face starvation or frailty; and if these
women are infecund, the remaining unwanted births would appear more healthy.
Second, some women who report not wanting more children could have social privi-
leges in acquiring medical services, abortion, and contraceptives; and if these women
avoid births, the remaining unwanted births would appear less healthy. We find (1) no
overall effect of unwantedness on child survival in rural Bangladesh in the 1990s, (2) no
evidence that biological processes are spuriously making the birth cohort look more
healthy, and (3) some evidence that higher schooling for women who avoid unwanted
births is biasing the observed sample to make unwanted births look less healthy. Efforts
to understand the effect of unwantedness in data sets that do not control for complex
patterns of selective birth may be misleading and require more cautious interpretation.

unintended births becomes a public health investment relevant to child survival.
Demographers classify unintended births as either mistimed—for example, “another
child wanted after two or more years”—or unwanted—for example, “I/we do not want
another child.” Efforts to demonstrate the health effects of unwanted births face
empirical challenges that we review in this article. We focus on the role of selection
bias related to unwanted pregnancies where family planning would be used to limit
rather than to space births.
The conceptual model linking declarations of wantedness to child death assumes
the existence of some parents whose pre-pregnancy declaration that another child is
not wanted signifies their recognition of unavoidable threats to that child’s survival.
For example, extreme poverty and food insecurity would be recognizable reasons
to not want children t.

Maternal care is essential for women and infants. Maternal care extends from the pregnancy period to the period after giving birth. The use of contraceptives lies in this sector of healthcare. Florida's policies on the use of contraceptives allow everyone from any age to purchase contraceptives. Therefore, even at an age below 18 years, it is possible and legal to acquire contraceptives. Abortion is a criminal offense in several nations all over the world. In Florida, abortion is legal. Fifty-six percent of Florida's adults revealed that abortion ought to be legal in most or even all cases. However, Florida requires that, for all persons under the age of eighteen years, a legal guardian or parent be notified of the abortion before the plan is put into motion and permit the victim to have an abortion. Insurance cover does not cover voluntary abortion. However, suppose the abortion is meant to protect the mother's life, and it is certified by a medical professional. In that case, a case can be made for the insurance to cover the abortion (Ely et al., 2020). Therefore, abortion for women with insurance cover may differ a little bit from those without insurance cover (Ely et al., 2020).
Florida's infant mortality rate was 6.01 deaths per thousand live births in 2019 (Atwell, 2019). Infant and maternal mortality rates are related in that they occur during birth or abortion. Infant mortality is the death of an infant during childbirth, while maternal mortality is the death of the mother during the process of giving birth. Infant and maternal mortality rates may occur mostly during abortions if the process is not performed well; or due to other complications during the process of giving birth (Atwell, 2019).

Access to Maternal Health Resources and Polices in Florida State
Florida is a developed state where maternal health is taken seriously. The family planning health services there are rendered by independent agencies and health departments of local hospitals. For example, women of different ages and with various levels of income have access to FDA-approved birth control methods, screening for cancer and STDs, pregnancy tests and counseling (Blakeney et al., 2020). Moreover, the healthcare system of the state is able to provide follow-up and referral services. Those residents of Florida who live below the poverty line are provided with the abovementioned services for free. When it comes to abortion, it can be administered to all pregnant women up to 18 weeks. When it comes to teenagers, Florida law requires them to notify their parents about the intention to have an ab ...

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
