克林顿总统1995年在国情咨文中提出挑战,“全国各地的父母和领导人联合起来,开展全国性的防止少女怀孕运动,以发挥作用”,这促使总部设在华盛顿特区的一个非政府组织成立。在他的演讲之后,一群代表媒体、政府机构、儿童和青少年倡导团体、基金会、娱乐业、学术界和医学界的公民在白宫开会,制定一项战略。与会者一致认为,这种努力应当是长期的、无党派的,并以私营部门为基础。目前,该运动正试图找出美国青少年怀孕率高的主要根本原因。今后,该运动预期将采取反对少女怀孕的明确立场,并吸引更广泛的社区领导人的关注;争取媒体的帮助;支持州和地方行动;领导关于宗教、文化和公共价值观在减少少女怀孕方面的作用的全国性讨论;并加强有效的社区一级方案拟订的知识基础。计划召开一次关于预防少女怀孕的国际会议,以促进有希望的模式和想法的跨文化交流。为了更好地了解基层情况,竞选工作人员将演讲活动与访问州和地方项目结合起来。该运动有四个工作队:媒体;州和地方行动;宗教、文化和公共价值观;以及有效的方案和研究。
Establishment of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy a nongovernmental organization based in Washington D.C. was stimulated by President Clintons 1995 challenge in his State of the Union address that "parents and leaders all across the country join together in a national campaign against teen pregnancy to make a difference." Following his speech a group of citizens representing the media government agencies child and adolescent advocacy groups foundations the entertainment industry academia and medicine met at the White House to develop a strategy. It was agreed that such an effort should be non-partisan long-term and based in the private sector. At present the Campaign is attempting to identify the primary underlying causes of the USs high adolescent pregnancy rate. In the future the Campaign expects to take a clear stand against adolescent pregnancy and attract the interest of an even broader range of community leaders; enlist the help of the media; support state and local actions; lead a national discussion about the role of religion culture and public values in reducing teen pregnancy; and strengthen the knowledge base for effective community-level programming. Planned is an international convention on teen pregnancy prevention to promote a cross-cultural exchange of promising models and ideas. To gain a better understanding of the situation at the grass-roots level Campaign staff are combining speaking engagements with visits to state and local programs. The Campaign has four task forces: media; state and local action; religion culture and public values; and effective programs and research.
