PURPOSE
To compare estimates of the prevalence of pregnancy among runaway and homeless youth between the ages of 14 and 17 years in various settings with each other and with youth in the general population.
METHODS
Comparisons used three surveys of youth: (a) the first nationally representative survey of runaway and homeless youth residing in federally and nonfederally funded shelters, (b) a multicity survey of street youth, and (c) a nationally representative household survey of youth with and without recent runaway and homeless experiences.
RESULTS
Youth living on the streets had the highest lifetime rates of pregnancy (48%), followed by youth residing in shelters (33%) and household youth (<10%).
CONCLUSIONS
Shelter and street youth were at much greater risk of having ever been pregnant than were youth in households, regardless of whether they had recent runaway or homeless experiences. Such youth need comprehensive services, including pregnancy prevention, family planning, and prenatal and parenting services.
目的
比较不同环境下14至17岁离家出走及无家可归青少年的怀孕患病率估计值，并与一般人群中的青少年进行比较。
方法
比较采用了三项青少年调查：(a) 对居住在联邦和非联邦资助庇护所的离家出走及无家可归青少年进行的首次全国代表性调查；(b) 对街头青少年的多城市调查；(c) 对有和没有近期离家出走及无家可归经历的青少年进行的全国代表性家庭调查。
结果
生活在街头的青少年终身怀孕率最高（48%），其次是居住在庇护所的青少年（33%），家庭中的青少年怀孕率则低于10%。
结论
无论是否有近期离家出走或无家可归经历，庇护所和街头青少年怀孕的风险都比家庭中的青少年高得多。这类青少年需要综合服务，包括预防怀孕、计划生育以及产前和育儿服务。
