This study attempts to determine which factors account for the spatial variation in teenage conception rates within the former Wessex Regional Health Authority and what factors account for the eventual outcomes of these conceptions. Postcoded data on all teenage conceptions from 1991 to 1994 were collected and related to census ward level information and indicators of accessibility to family planning services. The results show that the variation in teenage conception rates and conception outcomes is principally determined by the age of the teenager, deprivation levels, the presence of certain homogeneously distinct groups and the distance to the nearest youth-oriented family planning clinic.
本研究试图确定在前韦塞克斯地区卫生局辖区内，哪些因素导致了青少年怀孕率的空间差异，以及哪些因素决定了这些怀孕的最终结果。收集了1991年至1994年所有青少年怀孕的邮政编码数据，并将其与人口普查区层面的信息以及获得计划生育服务的可及性指标相关联。结果表明，青少年怀孕率和怀孕结果的差异主要由青少年的年龄、贫困程度、某些同质化明显的群体的存在以及到最近的面向青少年的计划生育诊所的距离决定。
