3.) The MTV shows, 16 and Pregnant and the related sequel, Teen Mom, have received significant criticism for glamorizing teen pregnancy. However, a study released by the National Bureau of Economic Research indicates that 16 and Pregnant "led to a 4.3 percent reduction in teen births in the 18 months following its initial airing. This accounts for 24 percent of the overall decline in teen births in the United States during that period." Furthermore, data collected from Google Trends and Twitter "offer supportive evidence suggesting that the show influenced attitudes, in particular, raising teens' interest in birth control and abortion."

While these findings suggest that the show may contribute to a drop in teen birth rates, even the authors of the study admit that there are other variables influencing the decline of teen pregnancy. In fact, teen births in the United States have been steadily declining since 1991.

What other factors may be contributing to this decline?
