Teen pregnancy means way too many young people have babies before they are prepared for parenting, have finished school, can support a family...or have even finished growing up themselves.

Healthy Teens OK! promotes proven approaches to teen pregnancy prevention that uses what we know from data and research to increase the effectiveness of Oklahoma's prevention efforts.

Teen birth rates in Oklahoma are far above the national average -- and have been, for decades and generations.

Reducing teen births in Oklahoma is one of the best ways to reduce poverty, child abuse, school dropouts and the number of families on welfare.

Healthy Teens OK! is a project of the Interagency Coordinating Council for the Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy and STDs and coordinated by the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy.  Support for the project has been provided by the Merrick Foundation, the Women's Foundation of Oklahoma and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
