Date:5/1/2009

Event Takes Place on the Eve of the 8th Annual National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy

WASHINGTON, May 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- After declining for 14 straight years, the teen birth rate in the United States increased 5% between 2005 and 2007. A forum in Washington, DC sponsored by The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy will examine why the teen birth rate is increasing and will explore ways to try to reverse the trend.

The forum will take place on Tuesday, May 5th between 10 am and 2 pm at the National Press Club (529 14th Street NW) in Washington, DC in the First Amendment Lounge.

The event will feature state and local leaders from across the country, experts in digital technology, as well as those involved in entertainment media, including nationally syndicated talks show host Maury Povich and teen actress Kristen Alderson from ABC's daytime drama One Life to Live.

In particular, the forum will explore (1) why the teen birth rate is increasing and what might be done to reverse the rise, (2) innovative approaches to preventing teen pregnancy at the state and local level, (3) how digital media can and is used to reach teens, and (4) what popular media can, are, and should be doing about teen pregnancy.

The forum takes place the day before the 8th annual National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. On the National Day, teens nationwide are asked to go to www.StayTeen.org to take a short, scenario-based quiz that challenges young people to consider what they would do in a number of sexual situations. Hundreds of thousands of teens nationwide participate annually in the National Day.

Thanks to the National Campaign's media partners, May will be full of teen pregnancy-related stories on TV, in magazines, and online. Some of the media highlights inc
