Fast Facts
While teen birth numbers and rates have been decreasing in Oklahoma over the years, we still lag behind other states and have one of the highest teen birth rates in the nation. Adolescents and young adults have the highest rates of the most common Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Teen pregnancy and STIs are preventable. Investing in their prevention will pay high dividends for our state’s young people, our future workforce and our state’s economic prosperity. Below are downloadable factsheets to promote health education and services for all youth.
