There's a weird thing in that teen pregnancy link. There are two trends mentioned:

* health scares about STIs reduce conceptions in women under 20,
* health scares about contraception increase conceptions in women under 20.

But, the type of contraception used to protect against STIs, condoms, haven't been the subject of a health scare in the period concerned.
