The Nass Valley and Telegraph Creek areas have the highest teen pregnancy rates in B.C., with 126 and 94 births per 1,000 women aged 15-19, Those statistics are from 1991-95, Terrace ranked further down the list with 57 teen preg- nancies per 1,000 teenage girls. However, Terrace was still far above the provincial aver- age of 22.5 pregancies per 1,000 teens in that same time period, In 1996 the provincial average fell to 19.26 tecn ‘ pregnancies. + Predictably the number of teen pregnancies was lowest « in the Vancouver area, with four communities having less . than nine pregancies per 1,000 teens during 1991-95. 1 The northwest also suffers high rates of sexually trans- { mitted diseases, In the Skeena region in 1995 there were + 227 cases of chlamydia per 100,000 people. That's the scc- ~ ond highest rate in the province, after Vancouver at 273. « Skeena community health nurse Christine Williams notes . that Vancouver has an abnormally high rate due to the sex ; trade there. The provincial average for chlamydia was 124 + per 100,000 in 1995. - Williams further pointed out that it was high rates of > Chlamydia in the small communities in the northwest grown children —- 26-year- old Scott, an electrical engineer living in Ontario and 24-year-old John, who is interning in medicine at the University of Alberta. er eee? which boosted the Skeena region to second highest, Taken alone, Terrace ranks third in the province, she said, - Women are tested more frequently than men, so they’re > diagnosed at a higher rate. In Skeena the rates are 80 per : 100,000 for men and 388 per 100,000 for women. However, at the Vancouver STD clinic males are - screened at the same rate as females. And their slatistics “indicate chylamdia effects similar numbers in both men ‘and women. Across the province the highest rates are for ‘women aged 15-24 — with 1,000 per 100,000 effected. : In gonorrhea statistics, Terrace isn’t doing much better, ‘ranked fifth highest in the province. “These statistics are telling us that we as a community ‘are not teaching our teenagers the risks associated wilh un- ;protecied sex,”’ said Williams, * Chlamydia and gonomthea are dangerous because they ican be symptomless. That means a person could have ei- ‘ther disease, but unaware of it, then pass it on to others. “An untreated STD can spread throughout the body and “cause infertility and damage to the organs in both men and “women,” said Williams.
