Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts estimate that nearly 60 percent of all U.S. pregnancies--and 81 percent of pregnancies among adolescents--are unintended. Yet the topic of preventing these unintended pregnancies has long been treated gingerly because of personal sensitivities and public controversies, especially the angry debate over abortion. Additionally, child welfare advocates long have overlooked the connection between pregnancy planning and the improved well-being of families and communities that results when children are wanted. Now, current issues--health care and welfare reform, and the new international focus on population--are drawing attention to the consequences of unintended pregnancy. In this climate The Best Intentions offers a timely exploration of family planning issues from a distinguished panel of experts. This committee sheds much-needed light on the questions and controversies surrounding unintended pregnancy. The book offers specific recommendations to put the United States on par with other developed nations in terms of contraceptive attitudes and policies, and it considers the effectiveness of over 20 pregnancy prevention programs. The Best Intentions explores problematic definitions--"unintended" versus "unwanted" versus "mistimed"--and presents data on pregnancy rates and trends. The book also summarizes the health and social consequences of unintended pregnancies, for both men and women, and for the children they bear. Why does unintended pregnancy occur? In discussions of "reasons behind the rates," the book examines Americans' ambivalence about sexuality and the many other social, cultural, religious, and economic factors that affect our approach to contraception. The committee explores the complicated web of peer pressure, life aspirations, and notions of romance that shape an individual's decisions about sex, contraception, and pregnancy. And the book looks at such practical issues as the attitudes of doctors toward birth control and the place of contraception in both health insurance and "managed care." The Best Intentions offers frank discussion, synthesis of data, and policy recommendations on one of today's most sensitive social topics. This book will be important to policymakers, health and social service personnel, foundation executives, opinion leaders, researchers, and concerned individuals. May

This book was released on 1982 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between attitudes and behaviors pertaining to male contraceptive practices; the influences of living group affiliation in these practices; the influence of partners in birth control method use; the quality of communication in the sexual relationship as an influence in birth control method use; and the type of relationship at intercourse as a determinate of birth control method use. The primary sources of data for this study were student responses to two locally developed questionnaires (The Individual Behavior Questionnaire and The Biographical History Questionnaire). Participants in this study were all male, enrolled as full-time students at Oregon State University during spring term 1981 and residing in either a residence hall, fraternity house or cooperative house. A total of 252 men completed both questionnaires. Standard statistics for demographic data were provided by utilizing the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The Chi-square statistic was used to measure differences within the population by living group type (LGT) and to measure relationships between variables selected for comparison. Numerous cross-tabulations were conducted to compare and contrast variables which might have some influence on contraceptive attitudes and behaviors within the population. Statistical treatments of these data were considered significant at the .05 level. The following selected conclusions were drawn from the findings of this research: 1. During the whole of intercourse occasions, there was a statistically significant relationship between birth control method (BCM) attitudes and BCM behaviors when men reporting joint BCM responsibility were more likely to use BCM's at intercourse. 2. Living group type (LGT) did not significantly influence BCM responsibility, BCM use or BCM reliability. 3. Sexual partners did significantly influence the use of BCM's at intercourse occasions but further data analysis revealed that unreliable BCM's were most commonly used. 4. Communication in the sexual relationship did influence BCM use but not BCM reliability. 5. The type of relationship at intercourse did influence the use of BCM's at intercourse but BCM reliability.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 50% of pregnancies in the United States are unplanned. Though recent regulations have expanded access to EC, the numerous policy changes, lack of knowledge, and unreliable sources of information regarding EC prevent women from utilizing the benefits that EC can offer. The purpose of this study was to assess students’ knowledge and attitudes about emergency contraception (EC) and to determine if there is a relationship between sexual behaviors and the use of EC. Two hundred and twelve undergraduate students from James Madison University completed an anonymous 29-question survey regarding EC. Results indicated that students were reasonably knowledgeable regarding the purpose and use of EC, with the majority of respondents answering eight out of ten questions correctly. A chi-square analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between gender and attitudes towards EC. Data showed a significant relationship between gender and attitude about (1) whether the advanced provision of EC contributes to increased risky sexual behavior and (2) whether the use of EC is the females decision only. Regarding types of risky sexual behaviors, four behaviors were evaluated: sex under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, age of first sexual intercourse, number of sexual partners within the past year, and frequency of use of protection with sexual partner. Overall, of those respondents who were sexually active, majority engaged in few risky sexual behaviors and appeared to participate in safe sexual practices (having few sexual partners and frequent use of protection).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first textbook dedicated to critically examining gender and sex in study designs, methods, and analysis in health research. In order to produce ethical, accurate, and effective research findings it is vital to integrate both sex (biological characteristics) and gender (socially constructed factors) into any health study. This book draws attention to some of the methodological complexities in this enterprise and offers ways to thoughtfully address these by drawing on empirical examples across a range of topics and disciplines. Designing and Conducting Gender, Sex, and Health Research is an invaluable resource for students undertaking research in health sciences, medicine, nursing, gender studies, women′s studies, epidemiology, health policy, psychology, and sociology.
