Study: Birth Control Helped Reduce Colorado’s Dropout Rate
A new study has found that making contraceptives and reproductive care accessible through a state-funded program in Colorado reduced the high school dropout rate for young women.
Researchers from the University of Colorado and the U.S. Census Bureau conducted a study that compared graduation rates in Colorado before and after the state adopted the Colorado Family Planning Program with those of 17 other states without such policies.
Estimates show that the program reduced the percentage of Colorado women between the ages of 20 and 22 without a high school diploma by 14%. The researchers estimated an additional 3,800 women born between the years 1994 and 1996 who graduated from high school by their early twenties.
