Thrive is leading a public-private collaboration to reduce the teen birth rate in Central Oklahoma.
Oklahoma’s teen birth rate is the third highest in the nation, and Oklahoma County has the highest number of teen births in the state. Pregnancy and parenting among teens results in greater risks of poverty, health issues, unstable housing and employment, and food insecurity. Teen pregnancy prevention is a key strategy in the reduction of poverty.
Our collaboration, formed in 2012, created a bold vision to reduce the teen birth rate in Oklahoma County by one third by 2020. In 2015, the collaboration published a Comprehensive Plan to achieve this goal.
