It doesn't work:

The number of U.S. teenagers who gave birth increased for the first time in 15 years, raising what a health official called ``a red flag.''

The increase ended a decline that began when the teen birthrate peaked at 38 births per 1,000 girls ages 15 to 17 in 1991, the report's authors said.
