We analyze and disseminate data on teen pregnancy and teen birth, including prevention strategies proven effective globally, nationally, and here in the Lone Star State.
We partner with others across the state on programs designed to leverage local and regional resources with statewide systems change.
We advocate for public policies that increase young Texans' access to knowledge and healthcare to prevent unintended pregnancy.
We ensure our partners have the opportunity to learn from one another and access the resources they need to advance the work in their home communities.
As a result of many factors—including increased access to sexual health information and contraceptives—Texas has seen its teen birth rate decrease by more than 50 percent in the last decade. The majority of Texans, including parents, policymakers, health care providers, educators, and others understand that preventing unintended teen pregnancy expands opportunity, creates positive social change, and empowers young people to make informed decisions about their lives.
