\nThis dataset presents the rate of delivery episodes where the mother is aged under 18 years. It is based on pooled data over five years and includes only those births that occurred in NHS hospitals or similar institutions, excluding deliveries at home, in private hospitals, or other non-standard settings. The indicator provides insight into teenage pregnancy trends and supports public health efforts aimed at reducing early motherhood.\n
\n\n\nReducing the number of births to teenage mothers is a key public health objective, as early motherhood is often associated with poorer health, educational, and economic outcomes for both mother and child. This indicator helps monitor progress in reducing teenage pregnancies and informs targeted interventions.\n
\n\n\nThe numerator includes the total number of maternal episodes where the mother is aged between 12 and 17 years, and the episode type is recorded as a delivery (type '2') or other delivery event (type '5'). Deliveries that occurred at a domestic address, in a private hospital, or in another institution are excluded. Data is sourced from the Secondary Uses Service (Inpatient Data Set).\n
\n\n\nThe denominator includes the total number of maternal episodes with a valid maternal age, where the episode type is '2' (delivery) or '5' (other delivery event), and the place of delivery is not a domestic address, private hospital, or other institution. Data is also sourced from the Secondary Uses Service (Inpatient Data Set).\n
\n\n\nDeliveries that occur at home or in private hospitals are not included in this dataset. Additionally, sub-national counts of 8 and above are rounded to the nearest 5 for disclosure control. The data is pooled over five years to ensure statistical robustness.\n
