In 1M2, there were nearly 980,000
births to teen-age mothers - nearly
one af every seven birtha in the U.&
Sen Moyrthaa noted that the re* a
* port, “Children in Poverty,” - by
‘ the Congressional Budget Office and
< the Congressional Research Ber
i vice has estimated that the ap
' proximatety 442,000 teen-age first
• births in 1999 will coat the federal,
stats, and local governments a total
of M.3 billion in welfare costs over
the following 20 years, an average of
919,790 per chfld.
According to the Urban Institute,
a 90 percent reduction in the birth
rate ampng teen-agers under 20
would reduce AFDC coats 25 par
cent by MM;
In a statement. Sen. MoynBian
said the coatspf teen-age pregnan
cy are high, not only for American
society, but for the young parents
and their children
"We need te address the serious
economic, social, and health con
sequences of adrfeacent child
bearing,” Sen. Moynihan said.
"A Child born to a teen mother ic
at far greater risk of a large range of
i
families to come to the Christmas
Party. With three to four members
in each family, this group consisted
of approximately 12 people. “They
received clothing, a bat meal, gro
ceries to take with them and toys for
the children," tells Bryant.

Study Shows Hacks Suffer Less
Than Whites Fran Headaches
Blacks and Hispanic* suffer less
from headaches than dp the rest of
the U.S. population, according to a
recent national stwfy.
But headaches, nonetheless, re
mains the country's «■"«*»—• one
pain ' problem, acbrirdUg to the
Nuprin Pain Report, the first natioo
wide study of the prevalence at pain
in the United States and how1
Americans cope with it. The study
was conducted for Nuprin by Kpuis
Harris and Associates.
Three out of four Americans
adults 73 percent - suffered
from one or more headaches in the
past year,ihe study found. Women,
whites, Easterners and college
graduates reported a higher inci
dence of pain than the public in
general. i’ ~
According to the Nuprin study, 74
percent of the whites reported suf
fering one or more headaches in the
previous 13 months compared with
only 94 percent of the Macks and 71
percent of the Htopanlcs.
Headaches also appear to be more
prevalent in the middle class.
“Those earning between $15,000
and $50,000 are the most likely to
report headaches,” the Nuprin Pain
Report stated. “Those in the high
est income backets <$50,000or more)
are no more likely than those in the
lowest brackets ($T,500 or less) to
say that they have experienced
headaches in the same period.”
Young people are especially
vulnerable to headaches,, the study
reported.
“Eighty-five percent of those 18 to
;-- '■ 1" ‘f- ■ :
24 years of age said that they had
. one or more headaches in the past
year, compared with only SO per
cent of those over 65,” the report
said
College graduates (77 percent)
tend to report headaches more so
than those with only some high
. school education (08 percent).
They study also found that home
makers (77 percent) are Just as
likely to have experienced head
aches as people in professional and
managerial positions (78 percent);
skilled laborers (77 percent);
clerical workers (78 percent); and
unskilled laborers (79 percent).
The Nuprin Report also found thmt
people who work with video display
terminals (80 percent) are some
what more likely than other Ameri
cans under $5 years of age to.have
suffered from headaches (78 per
cent).
The study was developed in ca#
suits ti on with Richard A. Sternbach,
Ph D., director of the Pain Treat
ment Center at the Scripps Clinic %
Research Foundation M' La Jolla,
California.
