CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A report released Tuesday finds that the death rate among Wyoming teenagers has increased, and more teen girls are giving birth.

The Kids Count report by the Annie E. Casey Foundation says Wyoming’s death rate among people 15 to 19 years old, based on accidents, suicides, homicides and other causes, was 86 per 100,000 in 2007. Only seven other states had a higher rate.

In 2000, Wyoming’s teen death rate was 81 per 100,000.

Meanwhile, the report said 51 births were recorded for every 1,000 females 15 to 19 years old, compared to 42 per 1,000 in 2000.

Since 2000, the state has seen a 21 percent increase in the number of teens giving birth.
