While the pregnancy rate decreased and then increased, the use of condoms increased and then decreased. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) surveyed high school males to find trends in condom use. Condom use rose from only 46.2% in 1991, to a high of 63% in 2003. Since then, however, the percentage of people who use comdoms has decreased to 61.5%. While this is a small change, it is enough to say that it is likely a contributing factor to the increase in teen pregnancies.
