Synopsis

Of the young women under the age of 18 who become pregnant, the proportion of those who choose to terminate their pregnancy varies dramatically across local authorities. This report is the first major study to address why such variation occurs. Focusing on England, Scotland and Wales, the research draws from existing data sets; surveys of GPs, teenage pregnancy coordinates and hospital consultants; and interviews with young mothers and young women who had had terminations.
