13. Teen Pregnancy Rate 7

14. It’s Not Just Teens 1.1 million unplanned pregnancies to unmarried women in their 20s Almost 90% of 18-29 year olds say it is important to avoid pregnancy right now 72% of unplanned pregnancies to unmarried 20-somethings are to women who have been pregnant before Trends are flat or getting worse 8

15. Why Does it Matter? Retention: Students are at increased risk of dropping out or stopping out 61% of community college students who have children after enrolling don’t finish their education, which is 65% higher than the rate for those who didn’t have children. Student Achievement: Students suffer increased emotional and financial stress, which can impede academic performance Relationship Turmoil: Mothers and fathers who have an unplanned birth report less happiness and more conflict compared to similar parents with a planned birth 9

16. What’s Happening on Community College Campuses? Nearly half of community college students have been or have gotten someone pregnant Only 2 out of 10 students at 2-year institutions report getting information on pregnancy planning and prevention from their schools Two-thirds of community college students report having sex in the last 30 days, and less than a quarter report consistent condom use 10

17. What do 20-Somethings Say? “If it happens, it happens.” “Planning is for people who are financially stable.” “I don’t want a baby, but we’re not using condoms…” 23

18. The Fog Zone Intentions don’t match behavior Although the overwhelming majority of those in the survey do not want to get pregnant or get someone pregnant at this time in their lives, 24% use contraception inconsistently and 19% don’t use any contraception at all. Even worse, among those who said it is very important to avoid pregnancy right now, 1/3 say it is likely they will have unprotected sex in the near future.

19. Lack of knowledge 30% say they know little or nothing about condoms 63% say they know little or nothing about birth control pills Myths and misinformation Among those who have relied on birth control pills, nearly half (44%) incorrectly believe that you should take a break from the pill every few years The Fog Zone 25

20. Fear of side effects More than one-quarter of unmarried young women believe it is extremely or quite likely that using a hormonal method of birth control will lead to a serious problem like cancer Underestimating effectiveness 42% of men and 40% of women believe the chance of getting pregnant within a year while using birth control pills is 50% greater The Fog Zone 26

24. For Educators Consider educating teens and parents through a public service announcement (PSA) campaign. Work with local school districts to improve their policies for evidence-based sex education or to better support pregnant and parenting teens. Engage state and local policymakers through town hall meet­ings meant to shed light on the problem of teen pregnancy in the community and focus on the solutions.
