The Kansas Department of Health and Environment annually publishes a teenage pregnancy report, summarizing data collected from vital records on fetal deaths, abortions, and live births. The total of these three elements represents the number of pregnancies. KDHE Health Care Information has compiled pregnancy totals and pregnancy rates for the following age-groups 10-14, 15-19, and 10-17.
