Teen pregnancy and contraception
ListenGuests: Bill Albert, Debby Herbenick
Teenage pregnancy rates have been dropping for two decades with the sharpest decline in the past five years. What’s behind today’s historically low rates in teen pregnancy?

Then, the female condom is getting a makeover but will it catch on? We’ll talk about the new designs and the important role it could play in women’s reproductive health with Indiana University sex researcher DEBBY HERBENICK.
