Recommendations included improving contraceptive counseling for all Medicaid-enrolled adolescents and for providers to offer long-acting reversible contraception (implants, IUDs), particularly to those teens who have recently given birth. The report also highlighted poverty as a risk factor for pregnancy. Use focus groups as a research tool.

Data collected from these groups was used in a number of publications throughout the year. Beyond Our Borders. The work of the SC Campaign has become nationally recognized.
