Graham Design; graphic designer United Way of Amarillo & Canyon staff: Susie Akers, Senior Director, Resource Development Susan Barros, Senior Director, Community Impact UNITED WAY 2014 Community Status Report The United Way of Amarillo & Canyon presents this 2014 community report as a tool for all citizens, non-profit organizations, and businesses to use in their strategic planning and community investments in the year ahead. The report aligns with the community's concerns and United Way's commitment of support for basic needs -- food, shelter, safety -- serving vulnerable populations, and the impact focus areas of Income, Education, and Health. While there is good news to celebrate, the report points out that there is still much work to be done. For example, teen pregnancy and child abuse rates are down, and high school graduation rates are up. Yet 17% of students in Potter County still do not complete high school and the data shows this will have a deleterious effect on these young adults' lifetime earnings. Child abuse and teen pregnancy rates for Potter County continue to outpace the state and national rate, and since we know that two-income households are a "golden ticket" out of poverty, it is of significant concern that the data shows more than one in two babies born in Potter County is to a single mother. In fact, more children are being born into poverty than into moderate or above- average means. The effect of this statistic on the basic needs safety-net system is foreboding. Of equal concern, the community's obesity rate and methamphetamine use are escalating at alarming rates. In the nationwide Robert Wood Johnson County Health Rankings, Potter County last year was 232nd out of 232 ranked Texas counties for poor health behaviors. While United Way supports programs that provide life's basic necessities, we must continue and in fact, increase our efforts at prevention by addressing the root causes of issues of concern in the areas of health, poverty, and crime. United Way partners with local non-profit agencies to address all of these issues and more. Through collective effort and strategic partnerships with these agencies, government entities, area foundations, businesses, the faith community, and individuals, the future of the Texas Panhandle can and will be bright for this and generations to come. It is through our challenges and our hard-fought successes that we will continue to truly LIVE UNITED. Chris R. Koop President, Board of Directors United Way of Amarillo & Canyon 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The United Way of Amarillo and Canyon (UWAC) is a non-profit organization that raises money and funds programs and services to improve economic, educational, and health outcomes for residents of Potter and Randall Counties in the Panhandle of Texas. At the heart of the United Way is concern for vulnerable populations: people in poverty, single parents, children, and the elderly. This Community Needs Assessment Report supplies data for Potter and Randall Counties on key indicators for demographics, income, education, health, and vulnerable populations. When available, data for the United States, Texas, and Lubbock County are included for comparison. Although Potter and Randall Counties are geographically contiguous, they are in fact very different. Minorities constitute the majority of the population of Potter County. Potter County is also characterized by high poverty, low educational achievement, poor health outcomes, and a sizable proportion of people in vulnerable circumstances such as reliance on public assistance and victims of abuse. With some rare exceptions, Potter County performs worse than the United States, Texas, and Randall County and similar to or worse than Lubbock County on most indicators. However, over time Potter County has improved on several indicators. For example, its rate of child abuse has dropped by 37.6% between 2009 and 2012. Randall County is predominantly white (non-Hispanic) and affluent. It performs better than the United States, Texas, Potter County, and Lubbock County on almost every indicator. Randall County has higher educational achievement, overall better health outcomes, and a smaller proportion of people in vulnerable circumstances. However, the population of Randall County is changing: the total population is growing rapidly (9.2% in 5 years verses 1.2% for Potter County), the proportion of minorities is increasing, and median income is dropping. The two neighbors are becoming more alike. 2 MISSION STATEMENT “Improving lives through the caring power of our community.” INTRODUCTION This report provides an overall picture of trends in Potter and Randall Counties in key areas of interest. The United Way of Amarillo & Canyon focuses its efforts on three areas: Income, Education, and Health. The goal of the United Way is to help the residents of Potter and Randall Counties, and particularly their most vulnerable populations, succeed in these areas. Demographic information is provided as a backdrop for the trends in the report. This report includes data for the five most recent years available. Usually, the time frame is 2008 through 2012 but the actual years presented will vary from indicator to indicator. When possible, data for the United States, Texas, and Lubbock County are included for comparison.

Does Reality TV Induce Real Effects? On The Questionable Association between 16 And Pregnant and Teenage Childbearing November 2016 JEL No. J13, L82 ABSTRACT We reassess evidence that the MTV program 16 and Pregnant played a major role in reducing teen birth rates in the U.S. (Kearney and Levine, American Economic Review 2015). We find Kearney and Levine’s identification strategy to be problematic. Through a series of placebo and other tests, we show that the assumptions necessary for a causal interpretation of their results are not met.

  • "Teen Mom" Tv Shows & Stigma Around Young Parents
    "teen mom" tv shows & stigma around young parents Creators of reality shows such as Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant say they are intended to prevent young pregnancy and parenting, but their greatest effect may be to increase stigma on pregnant and parenting youth. MTV’s hit reality shows 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom were produced with an agenda of preventing teen pregnancy by displaying a carefully constructed image of early-age parenting. Analyses of this media have found that the structure and content of the series minimize social inequities that often underlie young parenting. Some health promotion groups have partnered with such shows to try to provide health education to young viewers.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications THE “NEW TEEN MOMISM”: 16 AND PREGNANT AND THE NEW “TEEN MOM” IDENTITY A Thesis in Media Studies by Jacqueline N. Dunfee © 2012 Jacqueline N. Dunfee Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts August 2012 ii The thesis of Jacqueline N. Dunfee was reviewed and approved* by the following: Michelle Rodino-Colocino Assistant Professor of Communications Thesis Advisor Matthew McAllister Professor of Communications Marie Hardin Associate Dean of Graduate Education College of Communications *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Teenage pregnancy in the U.S. has been represented in popular culture in quite contradictory ways: as a serious social problem and an enviable, even glamorous youth identity. One important case in point is the television franchise 16 and Pregnant, a show that, together with its spin-off series, demonize and glamorize teen pregnancy. Above all else, 16 and Pregnant produces the spectacle of the pregnant teen as a new identity for reality television. The purpose of this thesis is to show how the content of the series 16 and Pregnant reflects and array of historical, cultural, and political-economic factors. I adopt a feminist perspective in my political-economic and textual analysis of the show and related media. The following analysis draws on Douglas and Michaels’ (2004) conception of “new momism” and Murphy’s (2012) conception of “teen momism” and applies these terms to 16 and Pregnant to explain how teen moms are constructed as both morally reprehensible yet also desirable figures that echo neoliberal and postfeminist ideologies.

  • Investigating How Mtvâ•Žs 16 & Pregnant May Be Used As Media Literacy Education with High-Risk Adolescents
    Available online at www.jmle.org The National Association for Media Literacy Education’s Journal of Media Literacy Education 7(2), 1 – 11 Investigating How MTV’s 16 & Pregnant May be Used as Media Literacy Education with High-Risk Adolescents Tracy Marie Scull, Innovation Research & Training Rebecca Ortiz, Texas Tech University Autumn Shafer, Texas Tech University Jane Brown, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Janis B. Kupersmidt, Innovation Research & Training Katherine Suellentrop, The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy Abstract Reality television shows featuring teen pregnancy may be used as media literacy education tools to positively affect youth sexual health outcomes. Concerns, however, exist that such programming may glamorize teen pregnancy. The present study examined how viewing and discussing episodes of MTV’s 16 and Pregnant, a reality television series about teen pregnancy, may impact adolescents at high risk for teen pregnancy (N =162; M=13.5 years). Adolescents indicated that they enjoyed viewing and discussing the episodes and saw the program as realistic but did not perceive the lives of the characters as desirable. Many also reported that they talked with someone afterward about what they had seen. Findings provide preliminary evidence that reality television shows focused on the potential outcomes of sexual behavior may be a useful way to engage adolescents in conversations about sexual health. Keywords: teen pregnancy, entertainment education, adolescents, television Teen pregnancy is a major public health concern in the United States, which has the highest teen birth rate among comparable countries (Hamilton, Martin, and Ventura 2012). Teen pregnancy and childbearing is estimated to cost U.S.
