  Abstract

The UK has the highest teenage birth and abortion rates in Europe. Although the teenage birth rate is falling, there is an upward trend in teenage abortion. The conception statistics of the Office of National Statistics are used for monitoring progress towards the teenage pregnancy strategy's target, which is to halve England's under-18 conception rate by 2010, from a 1998 baseline.
