Choosing The Best Publishing - Press Release by the georgia Department of Human resources, pregnancy rates among georgia These new numbers clearly show georgias abstinencebased sex education http://www.choosingthebest.org/press_room/press_release_5.html
Extractions: mpapst@ctbpublishing.com ATLANTA, May 18, 2005 The latest data also suggests this trend is continuing; from 2002-2003, there was a five percent decline in teen pregnancy in Georgiadouble the national rate of decline for the same time period. The decline in teen pregnancy and corresponding teen births has curbed spending of taxpayer money for related support services. Based on an estimated $10,000 per teen mom, Georgians experienced a cost savings of over $100 million. Abstinence-based education is one of the key components credited by the DHR for these outstanding results. Prior to 1994, contraceptive education was the main prevention focus in Georgia. However, in 1994 the Georgia Department of Education established a policy mandating abstinence education in public school systems, a direction that has been supported by both Democratic and Republican administrations. Parental involvement through sex education review committees chaired by involved parents was also established to supervise the selection and application of sex education programs in each school district. Teen pregnancy rates began declining in 1995 and have continued every year since. To read the full Georgia DHR press release or about other related abstinence industry news, please visit
