Definition

This indicator reports the total number of births to mothers aged 15-19 years, and the teen birth rate, or the total number of births per 1,000 teen girls.

Data Source

has not published new data for this indicator in recent years, but the indicator will be updated on the KIDS COUNT Data Center if or when new data are released. Until then, these data may provide useful historical information for those working in this field.

Notes

Total births to mothers 15-19, and birth rate per 1,000, were obtained from State Department of Public Health Vital Statistics tables. Totals include births to Connecticut residents that occurred out-of-state. Population values used for rate denominators were taken from the 2010 Decennial U.S. Census. Counts of births of five or fewer—excluding zero—were suppressed, as were rates derived from suppressed totals.
