Teenage pregnancy is a significant social issue in the United States, resulting in increased levels of poverty. Most public health family planning efforts have traditionally focused on teaching teens the how-to of contraception, with little focus on teaching the why-to. During my time as a nurse practitioner in a public health department family planning clinic, I developed a method to open discussions with patients about the possibilities of a future that includes delayed childbearing. My experience with this strategy taught me that hope may indeed be the most powerful contraceptive of all.
青少年怀孕在美国是一个重大的社会问题，会导致贫困程度加剧。传统上，大多数公共卫生计划生育工作都集中在教导青少年如何避孕，而很少关注教导他们为何要避孕。在我担任公共卫生部门计划生育诊所的执业护士期间，我开发了一种方法，与患者展开关于未来包括推迟生育可能性的讨论。我运用这一策略的经历让我明白，希望或许确实是最有效的避孕方式。
