Notes: State-level pregnancy data are released on an irregular basis. For more information on data availability, see http://www.teenpregnancy.org/about/faq.asp#11. If you must use data from a more recent year, consider using teen birth data instead of teen pregnancy data -- these rates can be obtained at http://www.teenpregnancy.org/america/statistics.asp?ID=4.
