The Role of Relationship Power in Couple Decisions About Contraception in the Us
Most analyses of the contraceptive decision-making in which couples engage are based on the reports of only one partner, usually the female partner. This study uses information from the 2006 National Couples Survey conducted in the US, which was obtained from both partners in intimate heterosexual relationships to investigate the relative impact of the male and female partner's method preferences on the type of method they use together. It also i…
Sexual Risk‐Taking Among Adult Dating Couples In the United States
Sexual behaviors are not controlled by any one individual in a relationship; characteristics of each partner are important. Couples-based interventions that take into consideration relationship-especially power-dynamics may enable individuals to initiate and sustain safer-sex practices
Assessment of factors affecting the validity of self-reported health-risk behavior among adolescents

Contextual Effects on the Sexual Behavior of Adolescent Women
The impact of social context on female adolescents sexual behavior subsequent to first intercourse was investigated through use of data on females 15-19 years of age from Cycle III of the 1982 US National Survey of Family Growth. Logistic regression was selected to estimate models for the two dependent variables--experiencing premarital intercourse and coital frequency--for the 566 Black and 1286 White subjects. Community factors such as social d…
The Sexual Behavior of Men in the United States
A nationally representative study of the sexual behavior of men aged 20-39 in the United States shows that the prevalence and frequency of sexual acts (vaginal, anal and oral) and sexual orientation vary by social and demographic characteristics. Analysis of data from 3,321 respondents to the 1991 National Survey of Men reveals that 95% of men have had vaginal intercourse; among them, 23% have had 20 or more vaginal sex partners in their lifetime…

Work and Retirement Among a Cohort of Older Men in the United States, 1966–1983
Multivariate increment-decrement working life tables are estimated for a cohort of older men in the United States for the period 1966–1983. The approach taken allows multiple processes to be simultaneously incorporated into a single model, resulting in a more realistic portrayal of a cohort’s late-life labor force behavior. In addition, because the life table model is developed from multivariate hazard equations, we identify the effects of sociod…
Contraceptive switching among currently married women in the United States
This study examines contraceptive method switching among married women in the US. It enquires first into the effect of method type and women's socioeconomic characteristics on the risk of switching to each of six methods, including no method, and secondly into the previous methods used by women who adopt specific contraceptive means. The results indicate a great deal of circulation among all method types and of movement to unprotected intercourse…
Occupational influences on retirement, disability, and death
This research examines the alternative mechanisms by which occupations influence the nature and timing of older men’s labor force withdrawal. We specifically assess the extent to which occupational factors operate directly and indirectly on exiting events and whether occupations constrain traditional determinants of labor force participation. Based on a discrete-time hazard modeling approach, the results substantiate that the occupational task ac…
Effects of Sexual Activity on Adolescent Social and Psychological Development
Recent studies have documented significant increases in the premarital sexual activity of adolescents; whether premarital adolescent sexual activity has any effects on later life events which do not operate through pregnancy related behaviors remains largely untested. This study conducts such an initial investigation by focusing on the short-term consequences of early sexual involvement for changes in the social and psychological characteristics …
Changes in the retirement process among older men in the United States
Recent changes in older men’s retirement patterns are investigated for the United States. The results show that labor force incumbents, particularly those in secondary occupations, experienced increases in the volume of both retirement and reentry to the labor force. In addition, although working life expectancy remained relatively stable across occupations, men in secondary occupations spent increasingly greater portions of their work lives in p…
Contraceptive Discontinuation among Married Women in the United States
Using data from the 1982 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), this analysis reports differentials in contraceptive discontinuation among married women aged 15-44 years in the United States. The total discontinuation rate is broken down into change to no method (termination) or to a different method (a method switch), and rates are obtained for specific methods. In addition, sociodemographic differences in risks associated with each type of di…
The Occupational Retention and Recruitment of Older Men
This study examines the effects of structural characteristics of occupations on the occupational retention and recruitment rates of older male workers. Based on transition rates reflecting occupational labor force status movements, the results indicate that movement out of the labor force is lowest in occupations characterized by high growth, substantively complex work, and low physical demands; movement to a different occupation is lowest in occ…
Contraceptive Failure and Continuation among Married Women in the United States, 1970-75
Using data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), this study reports differentials in contraceptive use-failure and continuation among married women aged 15-44 years in the United States. Failure rates differed by contraceptive intention. Within categories of intention, these rates differed by method, age, race, and parity. Users of modern methods had higher continuation rates than users of traditional methods. These results indicate t…

Failure rates differed by contraceptive intention. Within categories of intention, these rates differed by method, age, race, and parity. Users of modern methods had higher continuation rates than users of traditional methods. These results indicate t…
