Teenage girls prefer the rhythm method of birth control -- a method that is only 75% effective, according to new research from the National Campaign to Prevent Pregnancy.
- Researchers interviewed 2,800 teenagers ages 15 to 19 years old who have been sexually active.
- The surveyers found that teens' attitudes toward pregnancy have grown more casual since the last survey in 2002.
- The girls who were questioned said that they preferred the rhythm method of birth control, although many used it in conjunction with other more reliable methods.
"We have known the decline in childbearing has stalled out," said Bill Albert, a spokesman for the group. "This report kind of fills in the why."
