The adoption of Title X in 1971 provided for public funding for family planning in the United States but funding from this program has not kept pace with demand for contraceptives. In 1997, The California Department of Public Health established the Family Planning, Access, Care, and Treatment (PACT) Program, a public-private partnership to meet the needs of Californians, including about a half-million adolescents, who did not have access to contraceptive services. The program has saved the state billions of dollars in maternity and abortion costs, dramatically reduced teen pregnancy rates, and serves as a good example for other states.
