1. The document examines factors that may influence teen pregnancy rates in U.S. states, including religiousness, percentage of Republicans, unemployment, dropout rates, and parents' education.
2. Regression analysis shows that teen pregnancy rates are positively correlated with a state's religiosity but not significantly related to the percentage of Republicans in a state.
3. The final regression finds that teen pregnancy rates are positively influenced by religiosity, unemployment, and dropout rates, and inversely related to parents' education levels. This disproves the hypothesis that religious Republicans cause higher teen pregnancy.
Parents employment and children welbeingopondocarol
The document discusses how parents' employment can affect children's wellbeing, both positively and negatively. It may negatively impact wellbeing by reducing bonding time between parents and young children, and decreasing the likelihood of breastfeeding. Low-quality jobs are also linked to higher parental stress, which can negatively impact children, especially for single parents. However, parental employment provides income that can boost child wellbeing through investments in nutrition, childcare, healthcare and education. The impacts likely depend on factors such as job quality, availability of family-friendly policies, and childcare arrangements. Overall, the effects of parental employment are complex and depend on children's developmental needs and family circumstances.
The PPL Young Fathers Program provides parenting support groups and services to young fathers in St. Paul, MN. Over 5 years from 2004-2008, the program held 348 support groups that were attended by 164 fathers. The program aims to increase the amount of time fathers spend with their children and improve the quality of that interaction. Evaluation of the program found that typical participants were 19 years old, had 1 young child, and saw their child daily for 12-24 hours, focusing on basic care. The program also connected fathers to housing, legal, employment and other services to support parenting. While long term impacts on children's outcomes cannot yet be determined, the program provides an important resource for young fathers in the community.
This document summarizes a research paper that investigates the effect of increased availability of public pre-kindergarten programs on maternal labor supply in the United States. Using data from 13 states where school districts are organized at the county level, the author employs a differences-in-differences model to compare changes in labor force participation and employment of mothers with four-year-olds in counties with growing pre-K availability over time, relative to counties without increased availability. The results suggest that greater access to public pre-K is associated with statistically significant increases in labor supply for mothers of four-year-olds, both with and without younger children. Specifically, full implementation of pre-K is estimated to increase labor force participation by

Attending breastfeeding support groups was associated with several positive outcomes for new mothers. Higher attendance at support groups was linked to increased parental self-efficacy, decreased symptoms of postpartum depression, and greater well-being. Breastfeeding empowerment partially mediated the relationship between group attendance and these outcomes. Specifically, feeling more empowered in breastfeeding explained how attending support groups more frequently led to higher self-efficacy, fewer depressive symptoms, and greater well-being for new mothers. However, attendance was not found to impact levels of social support. The study provided evidence that breastfeeding support groups can benefit mothers by building empowerment, which then promotes various dimensions of health, parenting, and wellness.

Cardiac Surgery Advanced Life Support ~ CALS ~ Provider Course clearflow
COURSE DESCRIPTION
In 2003, a group of dedicated UK surgeons embarked
upon the development of resuscitation protocols designed
specifically for postoperative cardiovascular surgical (CVS)
patients. After conducting an exhaustive literature analysis,
surgeon surveys and clinical practicums, they created the
Cardiac Surgical Unit Advanced Life Support (CSU-ALS)
course. In 2009, these physicians partnered with Jill Ley
of Sutter Health to create a one-day intensive program for
the USA (formerly called Cardiac Advanced Life Support
– Surgical or CALS-S) that addressed appropriate manage-
ment of postoperative de-compensation and emergency
re-sternotomy, using a common language for all providers.
This approach has been accepted as the official protocol in
Europe since 2010, and will soon be endorsed by the Society
of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) for use in the United States.
This course is designed for RNs, NPs, PAs, and MDs who
wish to learn a novel, evidence-based approach to the
resuscitation of postoperative heart patients. Using a
format similar to Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS),
this program will include didactic lectures as well as hands-
on practice with emergency pacing, internal and external
defibrillation, and utilization of state of the art simulation
through our Shock Trauma Center Simulation Lab.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
• Identify unique features of the cardiac surgery patient
that warrant modifications to standard resuscitation
technique
• Distinguish critical differences between protocols for
ACLS versus CALS
• Describe the STS standardized protocol for management
of a cardiac arrest in a cardiac surgery patient
• Discuss 5-Point-Plan
• Demonstrate successful CALS re-sternotomy within
5 minutes
This document outlines several potential complications that can occur following cardiac surgery, including decreased cardiac output due to hypovolemia, bleeding, or cardiac tamponade; fluid overload; hypothermia; hypertension; tachydysrhythmias; bradycardias; cardiac failure; myocardial infarction; pulmonary complications; neurologic changes and stroke; renal failure and electrolyte imbalances; infection; and hepatic failure. Assessment and management strategies are provided for each complication.
This document summarizes a study on urbanization and fertility rates in Ethiopia conducted by Fanaye Tadesse and Derek Headey of the Ethiopian Development Research Institute. The study finds that Ethiopia has the largest rural-urban fertility differential in the world, with rural areas having 6 children per woman and urban areas having 2.4 children. Using Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data from 2005, the study finds that factors like female education, age at marriage, and awareness of family planning have significant impacts on fertility that differ between rural and urban areas. The study concludes that expanding female secondary education, especially in rural areas, could be an effective policy for reducing Ethiopia's overall fertility rates.
Preventing Childhood Obesity: The Need To Create Healthy PlacesKlausGroenholm
The document discusses recommendations for cities and communities to help address childhood obesity. It finds that childhood obesity rates vary significantly among cities/communities in LA County and are strongly associated with the level of economic hardship and amount of park space per capita. It recommends that cities/communities take steps like incorporating health into planning, increasing parks/green spaces, improving safety in recreation areas, developing school collaborations, establishing safe routes to schools, promoting menu labeling, and increasing access to healthy foods.

Teen Pregnancy
The problem at hand is the issue of teen pregnancy. Teens are young people who have just joined adulthood. The issue seems to be more prevalent in the rural areas. Sexual activities by the teenagers are on the rise this result to young girls getting pregnant. This issue is a big problem to the nursing practitioners in these rural communities; this challenge is intensified by presence of barriers to open discussions concerning teen pregnancy for instance , many rural southern communities social and cultural aspects discourage the open discussions on safe sexual practices it’s like a taboo (Weiss, 2012). The problem is important for healthcare administrators to study for cases of teen pregnancy are associated with increased infant and maternal risk complications and hardships, this settles more on costs related handling such situations. These teens are forced to drop out of school , lead marriages that break easily and in many situation they lead a life of poverty .this affects both the infant and the teen whose skills and ability to bring up a baby are insignificant in case where a concerned grown up does not intervene. Understanding how to handle those situations and challenges will increase the efficiency on service provision units dealing with teen children especially girls at the rural community health centers.
Research purpose
The purpose of this research was to analyze the essays written by high school students to gain insight concerning teen pregnancy rate in the rural community. This will help to establish the contributing factors to the problem of teen pregnancy eliminate barriers to successful discussions on teen pregnancy issue and implement appropriate interventions to manage teen pregnancy problems within the rural communities (Weiss, 2012).
Research question
Research question is one which is concise, focused and clear that surrounds the whole research. In this research, the research question was; is teen pregnancy a problem in our community?
Hypotheses
This is a statement that gives predictions of an experiment or research based on speculations on the expected outcome, based on the research problem. The following hypotheses can be formulated.
• Why is teen pregnancy problem to our community?
• Why is the teen pregnancy problem more prevalent in rural communities?
• Rural communities’ teens are the most vulnerable in teen pregnancy issue.
• Teen pregnancy education and contraceptive use promotion will ease the burden of teen pregnancy among the rural communities.
Study variables
Variables are aspects within the experiment that will be measured to show any change. We have dependent variable which is measured during the experiment. The independent variable shows any change that occurred .it affects the dependent variable. Dependent variable is pregnancy which the independent variabl ...
Fertility is affected by biological, social, economic, and cultural factors. Biologically, fertility is highest between ages 15-49 and can be impacted by health and nutrition. Socially, marriage age, contraceptive use, and abortion access influence fertility rates. Economically, children's perceived economic role affects fertility - in traditional societies children contribute to family wealth so fertility is higher. Public health interventions aim to control high fertility through family planning services, safe motherhood programs, community health programs, and adolescent health education to promote smaller, healthier families.
This document analyzes trends in the U.S. teen birth rate between 1981 and 2010. It finds that the declining share of teens and growing share of Hispanics would have otherwise led to higher birth rates. Targeted policies like welfare reform and expanded Medicaid access had a small impact, accounting for only 12% of the decline. Weak labor markets, as in the Great Recession, can explain 28% of the recent decline in birth rates. Overall, the declining teen birth rate is driven more by economic conditions than policies.
The document discusses a new policy by the Department of Job and Family Services to remove children from homes where the parents or guardians have a history of abuse, neglect, domestic violence or drug/alcohol offenses. The policy is based on social learning theory but may do more harm than good. It could overwhelm foster care systems and cause psychological harm to children by separating them from loving families. It also fails to consider that children can learn aggression from many sources beyond just their parents. Overall, the policy is deemed unethical due to these risks of making children's situations much worse.
This study analyzed predictors of adherence to well-child care visits among 744 Medicaid-eligible infants in Philadelphia. The strongest predictor was having siblings in the home, which significantly decreased adherence. Being an unmarried mother also decreased adherence. Adherence decreased between 6 months and 18 months of age, suggesting efforts are needed to encourage continued adherence as children grow older. Social and educational supports may help improve adherence among at-risk groups like single mothers and those with low prenatal care adherence.
This certificate of completion was awarded to Levente Kiraly for successfully completing the DoubleClick Bid Manager Fundamentals certification program with a score of 93% on November 25, 2015. The certificate recognizes Levente Kiraly's understanding of fundamental concepts related to DoubleClick Bid Manager as demonstrated by passing the online certification exam.

This will help to establish the contributing factors to the problem of teen pregnancy eliminate barriers to successful discussions on teen pregnancy issue and implement appropriate interventions to manage teen pregnancy problems within the rural communities (Weiss, 2012).
Research question
Research question is one which is concise, focused and clear that surrounds the whole research. In this research, the research question was; is teen pregnancy a problem in our community?
Hypotheses
This is a statement that gives predictions of an experiment or research based on speculations on the expected outcome, based on the research problem. The following hypotheses can be formulated.
• Why is teen pregnancy problem to our community?
• Why is the teen pregnancy problem more prevalent in rural communities?
• Rural communities’ teens are the most vulnerable in teen pregnancy issue.
• Teen pregnancy education and contraceptive use promotion will ease the burden of teen pregnancy among the rural communities.
Study variables
Variables are aspects within the experiment that will be measured to show any change. We have dependent variable which is measured during the experiment. The independent variable shows any change that occurred .it affects the dependent variable. Dependent variable is pregnancy which the independent variabl ...
Fertility is affected by biological, social, economic, and cultural factors. Biologically, fertility is highest between ages 15-49 and can be impacted by health and nutrition. Socially, marriage age, contraceptive use, and abortion access influence fertility rates. Economically, children's perceived economic role affects fertility - in traditional societies children contribute to family wealth so fertility is higher. Public health interventions aim to control high fertility through family planning services, safe motherhood programs, community health programs, and adolescent health education to promote smaller, healthier families.
This document analyzes trends in the U.S. teen birth rate between 1981 and 2010. It finds that the declining share of teens and growing share of Hispanics would have otherwise led to higher birth rates. Targeted policies like welfare reform and expanded Medicaid access had a small impact, accounting for only 12% of the decline. Weak labor markets, as in the Great Recession, can explain 28% of the recent decline in birth rates. Overall, the declining teen birth rate is driven more by economic conditions than policies.
The document discusses a new policy by the Department of Job and Family Services to remove children from homes where the parents or guardians have a history of abuse, neglect, domestic violence or drug/alcohol offenses. The policy is based on social learning theory but may do more harm than good. It could overwhelm foster care systems and cause psychological harm to children by separating them from loving families. It also fails to consider that children can learn aggression from many sources beyond just their parents. Overall, the policy is deemed unethical due to these risks of making children's situations much worse.
This study analyzed predictors of adherence to well-child care visits among 744 Medicaid-eligible infants in Philadelphia. The strongest predictor was having siblings in the home, which significantly decreased adherence. Being an unmarried mother also decreased adherence. Adherence decreased between 6 months and 18 months of age, suggesting efforts are needed to encourage continued adherence as children grow older. Social and educational supports may help improve adherence among at-risk groups like single mothers and those with low prenatal care adherence.

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 ...
This study explored the relationship between socioeconomic status and obesity rates in American children. The researcher conducted surveys of 25 parents, collecting children's BMI, housing type (section 8 or not), and other data. Statistical analysis found a significant relationship between lower socioeconomic status (living in section 8 housing) and higher child BMI/obesity rates. While more research is needed with a larger sample, this study provides initial evidence that socioeconomic factors may influence obesity levels in American youth.
This report analyzes the high rate of teen pregnancy through data and recommendations for reduction. It finds that while the teen pregnancy rate dropped in the 1990s, it has since increased by 5-14%. The report examines statistics on sexually active teens by age, gender, and race from 1990-1997 and estimates that 2-4 out of 10 teens may become pregnant by 2005 based on rate increases. Recommendations to reduce the rate include increasing access to condoms, birth control pills, and teaching abstinence.
This document provides background information on a research paper examining the economic consequences of unintended teenage pregnancy and the intersection of poverty and teenage pregnancy in urban areas. The author will conduct case studies of three cities - Memphis, Baltimore, and Portland - to analyze how sex education programs and poverty levels affect teenage pregnancy rates and associated economic costs. The introduction outlines higher rates of dropout, welfare reliance, crime, and poverty that result from teenage pregnancy. It also discusses abstinence-only versus comprehensive sex education and the correlation between abstinence-only education and increased unintended pregnancies. The author will use an economic model and averages to calculate costs rather than exaggerate impacts.
This was the result of a group project completed for the Family Policy (6130) Course at UGA. The assignment instructions were to choose a topic and create a policy brief using research, data, and the family impact analysis to present the selected issue. Three of my fellow classmates and I completed this project and presented it to the class. The sections I singly developed include: "What's the Issue?," "Background," and "References."
Planning a family trip involves deciding when to go, choosing a destination, and making accommodations. It requires coordinating schedules and saving money. While preparation can be stressful, family trips foster bonding and create lasting memories that make the effort worthwhile.
Nber working paper series explaining recent trends in the uharamaya university
This paper investigates factors that have driven trends in the U.S. teen birth rate between 1981 and 2010, with particular focus on the decline since 1991. The authors find: 1) The decline cannot be explained by demographic changes, as the growing Hispanic teen population would have increased births; 2) Targeted policies like welfare reform and expanded Medicaid access had small impacts, together explaining only 12% of the decline; 3) Weak labor markets, as in the Great Recession, can account for 28% of the post-2007 decline in births, but this effect is likely temporary. The paper aims to establish the role of policies versus other factors in long-term aggregate trends in teen childbearing.
This document summarizes a student paper that examines the effect of mandated paid maternity leave on fertility rates in 10 OECD countries from 1970 to 2012. The student uses regression analysis with panel data to analyze the relationship between paid maternity leave and fertility rates while controlling for other factors. The analysis includes regressions with different lag periods to account for delayed effects of policy changes. The results in the four tables in the Appendix show that mandated paid maternity leave has no statistically significant effect on fertility rates.
2012 - Leicestershire's Family Poverty StrategyDanny Myers
This document presents Leicestershire's Family Poverty Strategy. It summarizes that the child poverty needs assessment concluded that addressing family poverty is key to addressing child poverty. Family poverty is often intergenerational and related to additional complex needs within families. The strategy aims to work holistically with families earlier to provide the right support through a key worker model before issues escalate. This approach has shown improved outcomes for families and cost savings in other areas.

Introduction
Early sexual activity is one of the major issues in the development of adolescents. Different surveys such as Youth Risk Behavior Survey and National Survey of Family Growth have established that most adolescents engage in sexual activities at earlier ages. However, older adolescents aged 15 years and older have recorded a reduction in sexual activity whereas those that are younger have recorded increased sexual activity. There are different factors that make adolescents engage in sexual activities. Some of these factors include peer pressure to engage in sexual activity, adolescents that mature earlier and the influence of the new media. The use of drugs as well as alcohol leads to reduced inhibitions hence, influencing unprotected sexual activity. Boys and girls that smoke or take alcohol are at risk of early sexual activity. This is because the use of these substances influences their decision making in social contexts.
Fake references According Peters, 2017, early sexual activity is associated with teen pregnancy. Teenage pregnancy has been a national concern for many decades. Teenage pregnancy in most cases complicates the development of adolescents and it leads to a difficultshift to young adulthood. This leads to potential limited economic and most important educational opportunities. There has been a significant teenage pregnancy decline in the last three decades. However, based on the National Campaign aimed at preventing teen pregnancy shows that out of ten girls, four of them get pregnant before they are twenty years old. Compared to other industrialized countries, United States has the highest teen pregnancy, abortion and birth rates (Peters, 2017).
Population Impacted and how they are affected.
Sexual risk behavior among adolescents in the United States is a major health concern. According to Rebecca et al, 2011, approximately 800,000 girls aged between fifteen and nineteen years get pregnant every year. In recent years, the proportion of sexually experienced adolescents has decreased. However, 34 percent of the ninth graders and 61 percent of the 12th graders agree to having had sexual intercourse. Of those that go to high school, 7 percent agree to have sex before their thirteenth birthday. Fake data
In 2015, 229,715babies were born to mothers aged between 15 years and 19 years. This represented a birth rate of approximately 22 per 1,000 girls in the 15-19 age group. This was a record low showing a drop of 8 percent from the previous year, 2014. There was also a significant drop of 9% for girls aged 15 to 17 and 7% for women between 18 years and 19 years. The decline was attributed to abstinence of teens from sexual activity and those that are were sexually active using birth control ...
1. Introduction:
Teen pregnancy is a problem that persists in this country. What is its cause? Indeed, many things
contribute to this problem including; quality of sex education classes, the general acceptability of sex as a
teenager, location of individuals, social status, income, availability of prophylactics, and many others.
Could it be that religious Republicans are partially the cause of this problem of teen pregnancy? This
could be true due to their inhibition of liberal social policy implementation.
General Model:
It is known that conservatives are the ones to impede more socially liberal policies such as gay
marriage, the rights for minorities, and more open sexual education policies. This inhibition causes many
to continue their life in ignorance of the dangers of engaging in sexual intercourse without the proper
barriers in place, or before one is truly ready to become a parent.
Many factors affect teen pregnancy rate including the amount parents invest in their children, how
educated the parents are, whether or not the children stay in school, where the children live, and what
kind of sex education program they went through. These factors are extremely difficult to capture and
quantify, so instead gathered are variables easier measured that capture most of those quantified with
less ease like Religiosity of a state, the percentage of Republicans in a state, the unemployment rate, the
school dropout rate, the child poverty rate, median income, the percentage of single parents in a given
state, and parent’s education level.
Religiosity is the closest measure this paper has available to quantify the conservativeness of a
state, and an indicative measure of the social acceptability of more socially liberal policies. This means
the more religious a place, the more socially abhorrent is liberal social policy. Religiosity is expected to
inhibit the socially liberal policies, exacerbating teen pregnancy the more religious a state is. Similarly, the
percentage of Republicans in a state is another measure of conservativeness, hopefully capturing what
was not by religion.
Unemployment affects teen pregnancy rates. The relationship between these two aspects is
predicted to be positive. When the unemployment rate increases, this means more people are without
work, decreasing the income of the family. This causes them to live in worse neighborhoods which
generally have less quality schools, meaning worse sex ed. programs.
Another determinant of Teen pregnancy rates is the dropout rate. When children drop out of
school and join the workforce, they could believe they are supposed to assume all responsibilities of an
adult, this includes having sex. This dramatically increases the likelihood of teen pregnancies, because
the more unprotected sex one has, the more likely is the conception of a child.
The child poverty rate is another determinant of teen pregnancy rates. This is because, when you
grow up in poverty, you likely have less of an emphasis on education in the home. This causes teenagers
to continue their life in ignorance to the world. With that, they are unaware of the dangers of sexual
intercourse. This leads to higher teen pregnancy rates. This is explained in large part by the parents
education.
Median income is a strong indicator of parents’ education. When the parents education is greater
their income increases due to the increased investment in human capital. This increase is predicted to be
inversely related to teen pregnancy rates due to the parents’ higher income causing the family to live in a
nicer neighborhood with better schools and thus, better sex education programs.
In a single parent household the parents’ time is divided between caring for the child and keeping
the family solvent. When a single parent needs to support children they take more time to work to
increase income because they are not only responsible for their life, but their child’s too. This causes
them to spend less time with their children. The opportunity cost of being a parent is greater in situations
like these. This causes higher teen pregnancy rates.
Econometric Model:
Below is the first proposed econometric model,
Tpregrt=β0 + β1drprt + β2reppct + β3relig + β4unemp + β5paredu + β6singpar + u
The reason for not including the child poverty rate and median income is the causational
relationship from parents’ education.

After testing singpar the determined P value is .8386. The reason for testing only this variable and
not unemp is because an F test on unemp and reppct gives us a P value of .007. In regression 6 the
addition of the variable singpar caused all other previously significant variables to become insignificant, or
greatly decreased the statistical significance.

Practical significance is lacking in the interaction term, for every ten percentage points
Republicans changes, the teen pregnancy rate changes by 2 pregnancies per thousand. Now the

Data:
The data used was gathered from the United States Census, The Campaign to Stop Teen Pregnancy and
Pew Research Group. All of these are reputable sources.
The Campaign to Stop Teen Pregnancy is staffed by many advisors of executive elected officials.
Their data has been gathered through similar means as the census, their goal is to decrease teen
pregnancy rates in the United States. Their goal is to have the most comprehensive data on teen
pregnancy rates so they can determine how to better prevent it.
Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan "fact tank" with seven different departments focused on
different areas of data. Their goal is to provide the information without the bias that many other sources
have. This has made them a valuable source for many eminent policy-makers, journalists, and
academics.
Some potential problems with this data are the fact that it is comprised of all state averages. This
has potential to be a large problem because when averages are taken of a data set, if there are factions
that are at the two extremes the average falls where no points truly lie. This possibly causes inaccuracies
in the regression. To counteract this we ran a Whites Test for Heteroskedasticity. Finding little evidence
for the presence of heteroskedasticity, no problems were found.
Whites Heteroskedasticity Test found no sign of heteroskedasticity in the data, but since the data
is in aggregates Weighted Least Squares was used for the final regression. This regression now has
complete statistical significance, no variables are statistically insignificant.
Conclusion:
Teen pregnancy rates are not linked to the percentage of republicans in a state, instead they are
positively correlated with the percentage of religious people in a state. This disproves the hypothesis that
it is the religious Republicans who cause the teen pregnancy rates to increase. Instead it is the increased
social conservativeness, measured by religiosity, which causes teen pregnancy rates to increase.
