Thirty-five percent of teenage women in the United States become pregnant at least once before the age of twenty (National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, 2004). This is the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in the industrialized world (Centers for Disease Control, 2003; Flanigan, 2001): double Great Britain's, four times that of France and Germany, and more than ten times that of Japan (Singh & Darroch, 2000). The purpose of this research study was to investigate if there were differences in decision making and self-efficacy among pregnant as compared to nonpregnant adolescents. The Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1989) was used as the theoretical framework for this study.

520 $a Thirty-five percent of teenage women in the United States become pregnant at least once before the age of twenty (National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, 2004). This is the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in the industrialized world (Centers for Disease Control, 2003; Flanigan, 2001): double Great Britain's, four times that of France and Germany, and more than ten times that of Japan (Singh & Darroch, 2000). The purpose of this research study was to investigate if there were differences in decision making and self-efficacy among pregnant as compared to nonpregnant adolescents. The Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1989) was used as the theoretical framework for this study.
520 $a This comparative cross-sectional study included a total of 105 adolescents, 55 pregnant and 50 nonpregnant from western Montana. The Self-Efficacy Scale (SES) measured general and social self-efficacy of pregnant and nonpregnant adolescents (Scherer et al., 1982). The Adolescent Decision Making Questionnaire measured decision making styles and self confidence (Mann, Harmoni, & Colin, 1989).
520 $a Findings demonstrated that social and general self efficacy did significantly differ between pregnant and nonpregnant adolescents. Nonpregnant adolescents had higher social and general self-efficacy, in addition nonpregnant adolescents also had higher selfconfidence with decision making when compared to pregnant adolescents. An understanding of personal attributes like decision making and self-efficacy may facilitate identification of adolescents at risk for pregnancy and the future development of effective pregnancy prevention strategies.
