Pregnancy rates among teens in the United States have declined over the past decade. Yet they continue to remain higher among Latinas than any other ethnic group.

This project is a collaboration with Clínicas de Salud del Pueblo, Inc., Breaking the Cycle, and Mile End Films. It is funded by the Annie E Casey Foundation. For more information contact Alexi San Doval at asandoval@edc.org.
