During 2007-2014, the percentage of births among teens aged 15-19 years that were preterm declined for each racial/ethnic group, except for non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islander teens, where the change was not significant. In 2014, the percentage of births that were preterm was higher among non-Hispanic black and non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islander teens (10.6% for both) than non-Hispanic white (8.6%), non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native (8.2%), and Hispanic (7.9%) teens.
在 2007 年至 2014 年期间,除了非西班牙裔亚裔或太平洋岛裔青少年之外,每个种族/族裔群体的 15-19 岁青少年早产的比例都有所下降,而非西班牙裔亚裔或太平洋岛裔青少年的变化并不显著。2014 年,非西班牙裔黑人和非西班牙裔亚裔或太平洋岛裔青少年的早产比例(均为 10.6%)高于非西班牙裔白种人(8.6%)、非西班牙裔美洲印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民(8.2%)和西班牙裔(7.9%)青少年。
