This book was released on 1975 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the association between sex-role orientation and contraceptive behavior in an unmarried population. One hundred and twentyeight sexually active unmarried college students comprised the sample. The test instrument was made up of the Sex- Role Stereotypic Questionnaire developed by Rosenkrantz, Vogel, Bee, Broverman, and Broverman (1968) and the Biographic Questionnaire designed by the author. Data analysis fell into two categories: descriptive and statistical. In preparation for the statistical analysis subjects were classified according to each of four variables: (1) personal sex-role orientation, (2) orientation toward education for women, (3) orientation toward out-of-home careers for women, and (4) contraceptive behavior. Chi-square contingency computations failed to show any significant association between the first three variables and contraceptive behavior. Additional associations were explored and the following were found to be significant at the .10 level or below: (1) the heterosexual relationship in which intercourse last occurred and the frequency of intercourse, (2) the frequency of intercourse and use of the pill as a contraceptive, and (3) experience with impregnation and use of low-risk contraception. Interpretation of the data was made in the context of the reward-alternatives model which states that an individual will attempt to move toward the alternative in his perceptual field which he believes will be most rewarding. Two possible interpretations were presented. First, that sex-role orientation was not an intervening variable which determined the alternative which is most rewarding with regard to contraceptive behavior. It was suggested that the negative consequences of nonmarital pregnancy were viewed with equal distaste and seen as equally avoidable by those of differing sex-role orientations. The second interpretation was that sex-role orientation did relate to contraceptive behavior, but that characteristics of the sample and the test instrument obscured the results. Suggestions for future studies included: (1) using pair-patterns of sex-role orientation, (2) instituting a longitudinal study, (3) focusing on psychological variables, (4) attempting to assess the validity of the test instrument, (5) obtaining a random sample of sexually active unmarried subjects, and (6) further assessing the relationships among the heterosexual relationship in which intercourse occurs, intercourse frequency, and contraceptive behavior.

This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

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 1991 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only consistently significant results available on whether access to contraceptives increases their use relate to the density of access: the more sources users have access to, the more they seem to use contraceptives. Better data are needed on other measures of access.
Download or read book The Contribution of School level Factors to Contraceptive Use Among Adolescents in New York City Public High Schools written by Deborah L. Kaplan and published by . 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 An Examination of Emergency Contraception Use by Undergraduate College Students in the Midwest Using the Integrated Behavioral Model written by Jennifer J. Wohlwend and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence undergraduate college student use of emergency contraception as well as their level of knowledge and prevalence of using EC. Understanding the factors that influence college student use of emergency contraception will inform development of intervention programs designed to increase its use, which may lead to lower rates of unintended/unplanned pregnancies in this population. Students at the 11 Midwestern institutions of the Mid-American Conference were surveyed with the help of faculty at each school. A total of 1,553 surveys were completed with a response rate of 98.4%. A small majority of students (63.5%) were female, white (75.3%) and age 18-21 years (80%). Students ranged from freshmen (23.8%) through seniors (13.8%), with sophomores as the largest group (32.6%). The majority were heterosexual (92.1%); not currently in a relationship (44.6%), with 34.1% were in a committed relationship. Participants reported having had sexual intercourse at least once in their lifetime (78.9%) with 8.4% of sexually active students having experienced an unintended/unplanned pregnancy. Students who have used emergency contraception in the last 12 months made up 18.1% of the students who also reported having had sexual intercourse at least once.
