In Tennessee between 1975 and 1978, birth rates among teenagers decreased while they increased among older age groups. This trend was unlike previous years and coincided temporally with the increased availability of legal abortion services in Tennessee and the special efforts to prevent unwanted pregnancies among teenagers. Increased use of family planning services was significantly associated with the drop in the fertility rate for Black teenagers; legal abortion use was significantly associated with the change in the fertility rate for Black females aged 20 years or older.
1975年至1978年期间,田纳西州青少年的出生率下降,而年龄较大群体的出生率上升。这一趋势与前几年不同,且在时间上与田纳西州合法堕胎服务可及性的增加以及为防止青少年意外怀孕所做的特别努力相吻合。计划生育服务使用的增加与黑人青少年生育率的下降显著相关;合法堕胎的使用与20岁及以上黑人女性生育率的变化显著相关。
