Moore, Kristin A.; And Others
This computer file contains recent cross sectional data on adolescent fertility by state for 1960, 1965, 1970, 1975 and 1980-85. The following variables are included: (1) births; (2) birth rates; (3) abortions; (4) non-marital childbearing; (5) infant mortality; and (6) low birth weight. Data for both teenagers and women aged 20-24 years are included. The number of unmarried women by age is also included. The following features are included: (1) instructions are on-screen; (2) files can be manipulated to create several user-specified two-way tables; (3) population numbers can be percentaged; (4) longitudinal data can be indexed by year; and (5) individual tables can be printed. The files are used on a personal computer with Lotus 1-2-3, Version 2.0 or higher. The data may also be retrieved by other programs that can import Lotus files, but the user may not be able to take advantage of all of the features.
