Understanding adolescent pregnancy through adolescent perspectives : a critical review of the literature / by Amanda Allison.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Adolescent pregnancy remains an issue of great concern in Canada, and other \ndeveloped countries around the world. In 2005, more than 30,000 Canadian teens \nbecame pregnant, representing almost 7% of all pregnancies (Statistics Canada, 2008), \nand research tells us that a significant number of adolescent pregnancies are unintended \n(Sex Information and Education Council of Canada (SIECCAN), 2004). One study \nfound that more than 90% of 15 to 19 year olds describe their pregnancies as unintended \n(Klein, 2005). Although rates of adolescent pregnancy seem to be declining, these \nnumbers still fall short of what is acceptable and attainable (Spear, 2004b). Despite \nefforts to increase sexuality education and accessibility to contraceptives for teen girls \nliving in Canada, this country still ranks 1out of 24 Organization for Economic Cooperation \nand Development (OECD) nations for teen fertility rates (UNICEF, 2007). \nIt is also important to consider that although overall rates of teenage pregnancy \nappear to be declining, these declines in pregnancy and birth rates tend to be limited to \nurban, economically advantaged geographic locations (Best Start, 2007). Rates among \nmarginalized groups remain high, and in some cases continue to climb. National trends \ncan mask a number of realities that exist in a country. Teen birth rates from specific subpopulations \nreveal a more complex picture of adolescent pregnancy within a society (Best \nStart, 2007). Recent statistics from Ontario?s Ministry of Health and Long-term Care \n(MOHLTC) show higher birth rates in northern, remote areas, as compared to southern, \nurban communities (Ontario Maternity Care Expert Panel, 2006). Provincial statistics \nreveal a wide range of birth and pregnancy rates for teens, from a low of 9.7 live births/1000 women aged 15 to 19 years in British Columbia, to 104.4/1000 in Nunavut, \nand a low of 19.3 pregnancies/1000 women aged 15 to 19 years in Prince Edward Island, \nto a high of 145.6 pregnancies/1000 young women in Nunavut (Statistics Canada, 2008b).

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
