Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A Lower socioeconomic groups usually do not have group health insurances.
B Because of economic uncertainty, lower socioeconomic groups place more
emphasis on meeting the needs of the present rather than on future goals.
C They may value health care, but cannot afford preventive health care.
D They may struggle for basic needs and often do not see a way to improve their
situation. It is difficult to maintain optimism.

Answer to Question 2

2; 3; 4
Rationale:
1. When teens in poverty become pregnant, they are more likely to maintain the pregnancy and view the birth as a way to be seen as an adult. Middle class teens are more likely to have future education and career goals, use contraception, and seek therapeutic abortion if they become pregnant.
2. Teens who spend more time without adult supervision are more likely to be sexually active and to become pregnant. Conversely, teens who participate in afterschool activities are less likely to be sexually active, and therefore have fewer pregnancies.
3. The pregnancy rate for African-American teens age 1517 has dropped by 15, but Hispanic- and African-American teens have a disproportionately large number of adolescent births.
4. When the first birth occurs in the early teen years, the next birth also is likely to occur prior to adulthood.
5. Having a mother or a sister who had her first child during adolescence is a risk for a teen to become pregnant.
