According to various studies and surveys, the large drop in teenage pregnancies in the 21st century is primarily due to the more effective use of birth control methods. Many teenagers are now more likely to use contraception, including long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as IUDs and hormonal implants, which have a higher rate of effectiveness than condoms or birth control pills. Additionally, more information and education about contraception is available, and there has been a push to make contraception more accessible and affordable to teenagers. While abstinence pledges and media portrayal may have some impact, they are not the primary reason for the drop in teenage pregnancies. Fear of pregnancy may also be a factor, but it is not as significant as the increased use of contraception.
