    Teen Pregnancy Rates, Sexually Experienced Teens (AGI) (number of pregnancies per 1,000 sexually experienced girls aged 15-19)

    Sexually Experienced Teens

    All Teens

    The pregnancy rate for sexually experienced teens is higher than the overall teen pregnancy rate because it is calculated by dividing the same number of pregnancies by the number of teens who are sexually experienced (about one-half of all teen girls). While the teen pregnancy rate for all girls aged 15-19 decreased 17 percent between 1990 and 1996, the rate for sexually experienced teens declined 16 percent.
