Kimball, Colette – Prevention Researcher, 2004
Data from the National Center for Health Statistics suggests that about 17.4 per 1,000 males ages 15-19 years became teen fathers in 2002.

While the incidence of teen fatherhood is lower than that of teen motherhood, these young men are a potential resource for their child, as well as…

Shoveller, Jean A.; Johnson, Joy L.; Savoy, Daphne M.; Pietersma, W. A. Wia – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2006

Emerging evidence indicates that population-level health outcomes are unlikely to be…
