HAGERSTOWN - The Washington County Teen Pregnancy Prevention Coalition said it will use parental influence to help reduce the county's teen birth rate, which is the fourth highest in the state.
Coalition Coordinator Carrol Lourie said the county ranks behind Baltimore City, and Caroline and Dorchester counties on the Eastern Shore, according to birth rates among 15- to 19-year-olds in 2004, the most recent year from which data is available.
