 Berkeley, CA -  In a major study of California's largest cities to be
released on Wednesday, Berkeley will be named the most 'teen healthy'city in
the state. The study ranked cities based on a range of services related to
preventing teen pregnancy.  In fact, Berkeley has the lowest teen pregnancy
rate of any city in the State. Called "Reality Check," the study is set to
be released by the Get Real About Teen Pregnancy public education program
and the California Adolescent Health Collaborative.  It reviewed 55 of the
most populated cities to determine the cities that best ensure access to low
or no-cost health services, give a youth voice in community decision-making,
and provide structured after school and mentoring programs.
