- Abstract
This article reports that the U. S. Public Health Service's Healthy People 2000 Campaign is making good progress in many areas, according to a mid-decade review, but not in teenage pregnancy. The project, which is intended to reduce the incidence of selected health problems by set amounts between 1990 and 2000 established as a target for the year 2000 the reduction of the teenage pregnancy rate to 50 pregnancies per 1,000 population, from a 1985 baseline level of 71 per 1,000; by 1990, however, the rate had risen to 74 per 1,000. The report comments that such as violence, teen pregnancy and overweight prevalence, it is evident that many strategies currently in place for ameliorating these problems are not working.
