TY - JOUR T1 - SChool-based clinics' birth, fertility, and abortion rates-reply AU - Fleszar JM, Hendee WR Y1 - 1989/12/15 N1 - 10.1001/jama.1989.03430230043019 JO - JAMA SP - 3271 EP - 3271 VL - 262 IS - 23 N2 - In Reply.—  Dr Cullen is correct in pointing out that the impact of the St Paul program was measured in terms of a reduction in birth rate rather than fertility rate. However, program staff in St Paul do not believe that the dramatic reduction in births between 1976-1977 and 1983-1984 can be explained by an increase in abortions. This belief is reinforced by a decline in positive tests for pregnancy identified over this period.
