Young adults have the highest rates of unintended pregnancy in the United States, as well as high rates of STDs. Two recently published Child Trends' studies in the journal, Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, assess how risk factors in adolescence and relationship characteristics in young adulthood are associated with reproductive health outcomes among this population.
Child Trends analyzed data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health).
