 | | Out-of province events (e.g., live births and stillbirths to B.C. residents that occur in Alberta) are not routinely recorded in provincial statistics. |
 | | Teen pregnancy is also an indicator of social and economic conditions in a community; poverty, emotional deprivation, school failure, and lack of hope for the future are important factors in explaining teen pregnancy (Schorr, 1989). |
 | | Thanks are owed to Terry Tuk and Julie Macdonald, B.C. Vital Statistics Agency, Dave Brar and Kate Pengelly, Information and Analysis Branch, Lorna Storbakken, Preventive Health Branch, and Dr. Alan Thomson, Planning and Evaluation Branch, for their cooperation and assistance in obtaining and compiling data. |
