About 44% of these pregnancies result in a nonmarital birth and about 18% in a marital birth, while 37% end in an abortion. Results: More than 17% of teenage women are estimated to have become pregnant during their first nonmarital teenage sexual relationship. The data are corrected for underreporting of abortions. Methods: Data from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth are used to examine whether the characteristics of teenage women and their partners affect the likelihood of a nonmarital pregnancy and how the pregnancy is resolved. Context: Although the determinants of whether a teenage woman has a nonmarital pregnancy and how such a pregnancy is resolved have been widely investigated, little is known about the effect of her partner's characteristics or the joint influence of the two partners' characteristics on nonmarital teenage pregnancy.
