The May issue of Latina Magazine, which hits newsstands
next week, includes a feature story about teen pregnancy in the
Latino community, and the results of a survey done in partnership
with the National Campaign.
Latina magazine explores in depth why about 50% of
Latinas in the United States gets pregnant by age 20. The National
Campaign partnered with Latina to ask Latino parents and
teens what they think about teen pregnancy.
Among the findings from the survey: Almost half (45%)
of Latino teens aged 14-18 say they have never had a
helpful conversation with their parents about sex, yet 82% of
parents of Latino teens say they have had such a
conversation, according to a new survey released in the May 2006
issue of Latina magazine.
