This study examines the link between sexual abuse and teenage pregnancy risk by analyzing behaviors of over 9,000+ Minnesota 10th graders. Findings show that teens who report incest or non-familial sexual abuse are much more likely to report risk behaviors associated with pregnancy. Although a higher proportion of females reported abuse, abused males had greater odds of pregnancy involvement and risk behaviors than females reporting the same abuse. The authors call for screening for sexual abuse, interventions, and increased education about males for pregnancy prevention programs.
