Pregnancy rates may be an underestimate, say researchers

NEW YORK, May 22 — Teenage pregnancy rates may be higher in high-poverty neighborhoods than previously thought, says a study published today by the University of Washington’s School of Public Health and Medicine.

«Higher rates may reflect more people being exposed to pregnancy-related risks during school hours or during travel to and from work, in the workplace or during travel to호 게임 or from school, or in urban areas that may be more exposed to risks,» says study author Susan Blum, PhD, associate professor of medicine. «For this reason, we may underestimate the risks associated with high school pregnancies.»

High-poverty nei코인 카지노ghborh카니발 카지노oods, in contrast, did not appear to have high rates of teen pregnancies, the study found. High-poverty neighborhoods were identified as high-poverty urban areas with low levels of low-income teens (up to 30 percent). In these low-income areas, only 1 in 4 teenaged teens had a parent who reported high blood pressure during the previous 30 days, and 1 in 10 had diabetes, hypertension, or cancer. Among these lowest-income teens, only a few were obese.

By contrast, low-income teens were 1 in 2 if they were overweight, obese, or both, the study reports.

«Some of the information in this paper suggests that the high-poverty neighborhoods may not be as poor as most assume,» says the study, led by Dr. Blum and published online in the April issue of Pediatrics. «And it may take additional educational approaches and interventions to ensure that the public health and educational systems improve their policies and practices to address the issues of high teen pregnancy rates and other health problems among disadvantaged adolescents.»

The study was conducted to better understand the prevalence, risk factors, consequences and long-term health outcomes of teen pregnancy among African American and other ethnic minorities.

In previous research on teen pregnancy, the researchers identified a range of socioeconomic disparities, including high rates of teen pregnancy and health disparities between African American youth and their white counterparts. Although teens of different racial/ethnic groups might experience different health risks related to pregnancy, the new research provides an opportunity to address these disparities by examining the prevalence and impact of teen pregnancy patterns by socioeconomic group, Dr. Blum says.

«Since the onset of U.S. urban development, we have recognized the fact that high-poverty communities are important sources of high-risk pregnancy and health exposures,» Dr

Researchers use satellites to track wild dogs and other wildlife in the wild

Researchers use satellites to track wild dogs and other wildlife in the wild. Soaring wild dog population

A new study finds wild dog populations have soared over the last two decades, according to satellite imagery.

The study, published in the June issue of the journal Science, found that, since 2006, the number of wild dogs in North America has increased by more than 730 percent.

The increase has happened with little change in dogs’ natural population structure, according to University of Michigan researchers.

The results mean that the wild dog population in the United States has boomed in only two decades.

«We were surprised to find that the total number of wild dogs in the United States has not decreased over that time span,» study lead author Stephen Jones said in a statement. «But while there has been no significant change in the distribution of dog populations in recent decades, their current level of numbers is quite low compared to what it would be without widespread trapping, monitoring and management.»

Wild dog populations and how they are affected by habitat loss include wolves, foxes, cougars and bobcats.

Jones led the team by jarvees.comlooking at data from the U.S. Fish jarvees.comand Wildlife Service and the U.S. Geological Survey. (The federal agency uses data from both government agencies to collect data on the nation’s wild animals.)

For each year between 1992 and 2010, the researchers determined the total number of wild dogs in the United States for each geographic region. They then estimated the relative size of the total number of wolves, cougars and bobcats in the geographic region, plus their relative abundance, and its effect on the total number of wild dogs, Jones said. (The study did not assess their effect on the total number of dogs.)

The team also used satellite images of the West and East coasts to compare the current amount of wild dogs and the average size of their population during the previous 30 years. (Scientists typically work on a project that includes more than one year’s worth of data. For this one, a longer, more detailed study took place in 2012 to look at the wild dog population ovejarvees.comrall for all the United States, the study stated.)

As of 2012, the North American wild dog population stood at 6,700 dogs. During that period, population density in the North American West and East had increased slightly. In addition, in the South, the number of wild dogs had declined slightly over that time period, Jones said.

The overall size of all the wild dogs (determined t
