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 1987-02-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 1 million teenage girls in the United States become pregnant each year; nearly half give birth. Why do these young people, who are hardly more than children themselves, become parents? This volume reviews in detail the trends in and consequences of teenage sexual behavior and offers thoughtful insights on the issues of sexual initiation, contraception, pregnancy, abortion, adoption, and the well-being of adolescent families. It provides a systematic assessment of the impact of various programmatic approaches, both preventive and ameliorative, in light of the growing scientific understanding of the topic.

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 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

Download or read book New Frontiers in Contraceptive Research written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. 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.
