Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has found that the cycle of teen pregnancy is often passed from one generation to the next, indicating that a teen who is born to a teenage mother is more likely to become a teenage parent themselves. This implies that teen pregnancy has a generational aspect and requires specific interventions to break the cycle.

Answer: B
 Research shows that the incidence of teen pregnancies in the U.S. has declined since the 1990s but remains higher than in many other industrialized countries. Moreover, teenage pregnancy rates have fluctuated over the last 50 years, with a peak in the late 1950s and early 1960s, followed by a decline in the 1970s and 1980s, and another peak in the early 1990s.

Answer: C and D are incorrect because research has found the opposite to be true. Teen pregnancies are more likely to occur among girls belonging to low-income families. Furthermore, the incidence of teen pregnancies in the U.S. has changed over the last 50 years.
