Incidence of First Pregnancy among Black Adolescent Females over Three Decades.

McBride Murry, Velma

Youth and Society, v23 n4 p478-506 Jun 1992

Studies previously identified factors associated with adolescent pregnancy among a nationally representative sample of unmarried African-American females (n=4,663) born between 1938 and 1962. Data from the 1982 National Survey of Family Growth suggest substantial changes in sexual behavior over the years. (SLD)
