Teen Pregnancy
Statement Background: A lot of young people do not know how to protect themselves, often getting pregnant due to a lack of contraception. According to the statistics, less than half of teens that become mothers before age 18 graduate from high school . College students who become pregnant and give birth are also much less likely to complete their education than their peers. There are also lots of young people who decide to do abortion. Young people also have higher risk for STDs. No matter what the reason, young people becoming pregnant is a big problem for society. In my data visualization project I will show the statistics of young peoples drop out of school rate (graduation rate), and how it corrolates with pregnancy and teen STD rates in the USA.
Company: My client will be Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest (PPGNW). PPGNW is a not-for-profit family planning agency that provides high-quality, affordable reproductive health care for women, men and teens. Many of their patients have no other health care available to them.
Goal: The goal of this data visualization will be to educate young people about the risks of having sex and the importance of using protection when engaging in sex.
Target Audience: My target audiences are any young people and their families.
