Teen pregnancy is a public health issue that has been a long-time topic of concern in the United States, but in recent years has been declining. Even with this substantial progress and downward trend, reducing pregnancies in adolescence still remains on the Healthy People 2030 objectives because of the community wide impact felt from teen pregnancy. This paper was written as part of a Community Outreach Project for the Physician Assistant Program at OHSU and discusses contraceptive education as a means to decrease teen pregnancy rates. I then presented a contraceptive education lesson to a class of high school students in Portland, OR. In this paper, I discuss the downward trend of teen pregnancy rates in America, why teen pregnancy is a medical and social problem that we should still care about and how contraceptive education is an effective tool to help youth make safe decisions.
