HARTFORD DATA

In Hartford, the proportion of births to teen mothers is more than double that of the state average over the entire five year period. In 2004 alone, the percentage of teen births relative to older residents in Hartford was practically triple that of Connecticut overall (20.1% vs. 6.9%.) In each of the five years included in this analysis, Hartford demonstrated the highest percentage of births to teen mothers in the entire state. Hartford is clearly a community in great need of teen pregnancy and adolescent childbearing prevention services.
