Methods include a review of epidemiological data surrounding teenage pregnancy on the national, state, and county level; a literature review of factors related to teenage pregnancy and past interventions implemented in a rural community; a policy review of past and current bills in legislature; and an analysis of barriers and decision making in implementing an evidence based program through qualitative observations, discussions with community members during meetings, presentations, and discussions. Results of this study indicate that there is a lack of research conducted in rural areas in the field of teenage pregnancy prevention and sexual education programs. This study fills a large gap in the literature on rural adolescents and attempts to analyze the process of decision-making in a rural area related to adoption of sexual education programming.

The rate of teenage childbearing among puerto ricans has not changed significantly over the past decade; as with other white and non-white children, i have observed at lee high school an increase in the number of mothers who are thirteen to fifteen years old, a decrease in the older teens. A number continue in school during the pregnancy with excellent attendance, are consistently highly motivated, are high achievers academically and form close relationships with teachers and supportive staff; they attend right up to the time of delivery but as soon as the babies are born, contact with school ends abruptly and the mothers become drop-outs. If we lose this young mother during her pregnancy or shortly thereafter, she will most likely remain forever educationally and economically behind; at age 13, 14, or 15, we are committing a young family to a life time or poverty. While there must also be collaboration with community health and social service agencies, the classroom provides the opportunity for primary prevention of social problems (unemployment, delinquency, pregnancy) and for intervention where and when these problems provide background information regarding the outcomes of pregnancy for the puerto rican students in our enhance teachers awareness and understanding of the home life of the puerto rican young mother and her examine interventions which may help more puerto rican young parents remain in the system until educational goals have been explore available formal and informal family and community networks for puerto rican young provide lessons to supplement material on teenage pregnancy for use in grade 9 urban studies classes and grade 12 psychology and sociology luis martinez introduces his paper, the impact of adolescent pregnancy on hispanic adolescents and their families, with a general discussion about hispanics, and about hispanic adolescents in particular.
The implications are that the hispanic youth population will continue to increase over the next decade and will account for a larger percentage of adolescent problems (unemployment, early childbearing) major sources of data on adolescent problems, and specifically on adolescent pregnancy and childbearing, do not separate hispanics. This is true in the guttmacher institute reports on teenage pregnancy nationwide and the city of new haven, department of health 1981 birth and death crosstabulation report. To date, the information available about hispanic teens and pregnancy is derived from small sample studies in urban neighborhoods (ie. These reports provide some statistical information and samples of clinical observations from which we can begin to develop programs and policies to meet the needs of hispanic adolescents and their school experience for the puerto rican pregnant teenager and young dont know or understand how they (puerto rican, mexican, or other hispanic young people) are affected by cultural displacement or the conflicts they experience between their families cultural expectations and external values of american society. Do know that hispanics drop out of school much more frequently than whites and blacks; and among the major reasons cited are pregnancy, getting married, and home responsibilities. The experience for the puerto rican teenagers i have worked with, and certainly also for a number of black and white young mothers, contrasts sharply. We can generally predict that the puerto rican young mother:Will not receive long term support from her immediate be expected to sever her ties with her family and assume more of a role with the babys fathers be expected to establish an independent be expected to care for her child be expected to marry the father of the many of the families discussed in the furstenberg paper, the child had a positive impact on the family, in some cases financially (increased welfare benefits), in some cases emotionally (avoiding the empty next for the maternal grandmother or bringing respite and a more positive focus to a troubled family situation). In contrast, since the puerto rican young woman moves away from her nuclear family and attempts to establish her own household, she reaps few benefits in terms of family; rather she will face the physical responsibilities of maintaining a household (cleaning, cooking, errands) as well as taking on the emotional problems of her husbandoften a teenager himself or an older, unemployed, unskilled man.
Though some grandmothers and other relatives may verbally express support for her continued education, most likely they will not perceive fully the daily physical and emotional support she needs as she attempts to meet schools academic and administrative following case studies are composite profiles based on experiences working with young puerto rican mothers during the past six years.

Moritza attended the mccabe center during her pregnancy and continued living at home with her mother (age 30, working full time) and her father (age 35, working) and her younger sister. As the pregnancy progressed, she and her mother began to talk more and more and to plan for the baby; her mothers initial response to the reality of the pregnancy was one of sadness and resignationshe said she knew her daughter was probably pregnant. She considered in her own mind terminating the pregnancy, but knew that her mother and her boyfriend would disapprove; she felt she would not be able to do it without telling them. Iris had a very healthy pregnancy, attended all pre-natal appointments, and continued her excellent school performance at the alternate school for pregnant girls. Her son was born in june and she returned to her regular high joined the parenting classes; she had completed her math and science requirements and chose a business course of study for her senior year.
