Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: An unintended pregnancy (UIP) occurs before an ideal time or is completely unwanted. In 2011, the rate of UIP in the United States was 49% of all pregnancies. Unintended pregnancies are expensive to society and result in poorer health outcomes for the woman and the infant. Women in the following groups have the highest rates of UIP: aged 20-24; unmarried and co-habitating; income below the poverty level; educational level less than a high school diploma; and, Black or Latina women. Contraceptive use prevents UIP, but many women do not use contraception, especially the highly effective long-acting reversible forms of contraception. Purposes: This descriptive, cross-sectional study examined the relationship between background factors, attitudes, perceived norms, and self-efficacy and the intent to use contraception. Secondly, this study examined the relationship between background factors, intent to use contraception, environmental factors, competency, and reported use of contraception. Finally, this study aimed to establish the validity and reliability of the survey instrument, Influences on Birth Control Use (IBCU). Methods: Participants were a convenience sample of 270 women ages 18-24 attending a large public university or community college in the Midwest. Participants completed a paper survey. The integrated behavioral iv model provided a framework for factors associated with intent to use contraception and reported contraception use. Results: IBCU was found to have reliable sub-scales, especially for attitude and self-efficacy toward contraceptive use. For each one point increase in the attitude scale score, the odds that a participant did not intend to use contraception declined. If a participant reported a rural childhood, they were more likely to report they did not intend to use contraception. If a participant intended to use contraception, they were 15 times more likely to report contraceptive use, and if a participant had health insurance that paid for contraception, they were six times more likely to report contraceptive use. Conclusions: Understanding social differences in rural areas allows providers to offer sensitive reproductive health care to women from those areas. Decreasing the cost of contraception will increase the number of women who use contraception. Men should be included in research on contraception in future.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year approximately 17,000 adolescents ages 15-19 become pregnant in New York City. Most of these pregnancies are unintended and only a small percent of adolescents use effective contraception, with wide disparities by race/ethnicity and poverty level. While many studies have identified factors associated with contraceptive use, most research has focused on individual level factors, with little attention to the contribution of the school environment to sexual risk behavior and contraceptive use. This study investigates the effect of school-level factors on contraceptive use among adolescents in NYC public high schools before and after controlling for individual-level factors, and whether this effect varies with race/ethnicity. Using a cross-sectional design, the NYC Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) individual-level datasets for 2007, 2009 and 2011 were linked to a school-level dataset. Variables were selected based on empirical findings on factors associated with sexual behaviors, including contraceptive use, by adolescents. The analytic sample included all YRBS respondents aged 14 or older who reported having sexual intercourse in the past three months and had complete responses to the YRBS questions on contraceptive use at last sex (N=8,054). The chi square test of significance was used to evaluate significant associations between independent variables and contraceptive use in bivariate analyses; variables with a p value

Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2016 in the subject Health - Miscellaneous, grade: A, , course: health, language: English, abstract: Contraceptive use by sexually active female students in a College setting is both practical and intelligent. Reliable, consistent, and therapeutically correct contraceptive use prevents unintended pregnancies and assures a greater likelihood of uninterrupted or impeded higher education for the young woman. The objective of this study was to assess contraceptive use and identify the factors associated with contraceptive use. An institutional based cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1067 female college students of Wolaita Soddo ATVET from October 21, 2016 to November 9, 2016. Multistage sampling technique with Probabilities proportional to size was used. After data collection, each questionnaire was checked for completeness and consistency. Data was analyzed by manually then different frequency tables, graphs and descriptive summaries were used to describe the study variables and 95% Confidence Intervals to adjust for possible confounding variables.
Download or read book The Best Intentions written by Committee on Unintended Pregnancy and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-06-16 with total page 393 pages. 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 2004-04-12 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a quarter of pregnancies worldwide are unintended. Between 1995 and 2000, nearly 700,000 women died and many more experienced illness, injury, and disability as a result of unintended pregnancy. Children born from unplanned conception are at greater risk of low birth weight, of being abused, and of not receiving sufficient resources for healthy development. A wider range of contraceptive options is needed to address the changing needs of the populations of the world across the reproductive life cycle, but this unmet need has not been a major priority of the research community and pharmaceutical industry. New Frontiers in Contraceptive Research: A Blueprint for Action, a new report from the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, identifies priority areas for research to develop new contraceptives. The report highlights new technologies and approaches to biomedical research, including genomics and proteomics, which hold particular promise for developing new products. It also identifies impediments to drug development that must be addressed. Research sponsors, both public and private, will find topics of interest among the recommendations, which are diverse but interconnected and important for improving the range of contraceptive products, their efficacy, and their acceptability.
