“Research has long connected teens’ own religious beliefs with their sexual attitudes and behavior. New research released by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy indicates that teens’ from religious families and those with friends who regularly attend religious services tend to have sex at later ages compared to teens whose parents have religious beliefs that are not as strong and whose peers don’t attend services as regularly.
This new research — developed by Child Trends and released by the National Campaign — is being released in conjunction with a new guide, “Faith, Hope, and Love: How Latino Faith Communities Can Help Prevent Teen Pregnancy.” Created in partnership with a distinguished group of advisors, the guide provides faith leaders serving Latino families ideas to help young people avoid too- early pregnancy and parenthood. Currently, half of all Latina teens get pregnant by age 20 and Latina teens have the highest teen birth rate among major racial/ethnic groups.”
