“Bearing in Mind That I Am a Black Mother”
“You're not necessarily pregnant”
Misconceptions about what emergency contraception does are common and have resulted in policy efforts to restrict access. Understanding the beliefs and reasoning behind people's uncertainty and lack of knowledge about emergency contraception helps shed light on key misconceptions and how advocates, providers, and researchers can improve clarity. We conducted a secondary analysis using previously collected qualitative data from card sort and vigne…
Contraceptive autonomy of adolescents and young adults in the U.S. South
A growing body of research describes coercive experiences in contraceptive care in the clinic setting, a phenomenon that disproportionately constrains the contraceptive autonomy of women who are young, low-income, Black, or Latinx. Less research has examined how other social influences may constrain contraceptive use and decision-making. We examine contraceptive autonomy across three domains of interpersonal influence (healthcare providers, sexua…
Differences in Contraceptive Method Discontinuation and Contraceptive Method Preferences by Disability Status
Age Bias, Missing Data, and Declining Response Rates in the National Youth Risk Behavior Survey and Their Influence on Estimates of Trends in Adolescent Sexual Experience, 2011–2023
Introduction The national Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) has experienced considerable declines in response rates, increases in missing data on sexual experience, and shifts in data collection – all of which raise questions about bias in estimates for sexual experience among US high school students. Methods We used weighted data from the YRBS for 2011–2023 (n = 110,409). We explored the impact of declining school and student response rates, mis…
Gender, Power, and Nonpreferred Contraceptive Use in the United States
Power dynamics in social interactions likely affect individuals’ ability to use their preferred contraception, yet research has primarily emphasized financial barriers. Using data from a national survey of people assigned female at birth, we apply a social-ecological framework to assess a broader range of factors shaping nonpreferred use. Over one-quarter of respondents were not using their preferred method; among them, nearly half preferred vase…
Associations between sexual orientation, sex education curriculum, and exposure to affirming/disaffirming LGB content in two US-based cohorts of adolescents
Sexual health education experienced by lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) youth varies widely in relevancy and representation. However, associations among sexual orientation, type of sex education, and exposure to affirming or disaffirming content have yet to be examined. Understanding these patterns can help to address gaps in LGB-sensitive sex education. Our goal in this study was to examine the prevalence and associations among abstinence-only u…
Health-Related Quality of Life in Adult Patients With Strabismus—translation and Psychometric Testing of the Adult Strabismus Questionnaire (As-20) Into Finnish
(1) Strabismus has an impact on individuals' health-related quality of life. The impact should be assessed with valid patient-reported outcome measures such as the Adult Strabismus Questionnaire (AS-20). The AS-20 was further refined using a Rasch analysis for the American population. The aims of the study were to translate and culturally adapt the AS-20 into Finnish and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Finnish AS-20. (2) The guidel…
Improving abortion underreporting in the USA
Abortion is a difficult-to-measure behaviour with extensive underreporting in surveys, which compromises the ability to study and monitor it. We aimed to improve understanding of how women interpret and respond to survey items asking if they have had an abortion. We developed new questions hypothesised to improve abortion reporting, using approaches that aim to clarify which experiences to report; reduce the stigma and sensitivity of abortion; re…
Technically an abortion
Randomized experimental testing of new survey approaches to improve abortion reporting in the U nited S tates
More work is needed to improve reporting of abortion in future surveys, particularly as abortion access becomes increasingly restricted in the United States. Despite this study's null results, it provides a promising path for future efforts to improve abortion measurement. It is proof of concept for testing new approaches in a less expensive, faster, and more flexible format than embedding changes in existing national fertility surveys
Telehealth for Contraceptive Care During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Objectives. To investigate trends in the use and quality of telehealth for contraceptive care during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Methods. The 2021 Guttmacher Survey of Reproductive Health Experiences is a national online survey of 6211 people assigned female at birth, aged 18 to 49 years, and that ever had penile‒vaginal sex. We used weighted bivariable and multivariable logistic regressions to analyze the use of telehealth for co…
The Impact of Abortion Underreporting on Pregnancy Data and Related Research
Incomplete reporting of pregnancy remains a fundamental shortcoming to the study of US fertility-related experiences. Efforts to improve abortion reporting are needed to strengthen the quality of pregnancy data to support maternal, child, and reproductive health research
Parent, partner and individual contexts of very early first sex experiences among young men and their links to subsequent reproductive health outcomes
Research indicates that upwards to 30% of US urban Black male adolescents report first sex younger than age 13; however, there is limited literature on the sexual and reproductive health outcomes and contexts of these early first sex experiences. This exploratory study described sexual and reproductive health histories and explored personal, partner and parent contextual factors associated with first sex experiences occurring at 13 years or young…
State-Level Variation in Abortion Stigma and Women and Men’s Abortion Underreporting in the USA
Abortion is highly stigmatized in most settings and severely underreported in demographic surveys. In the USA, variation in the context of abortion between states may influence respondents’ exposure to abortion stigma and create geographic variation in their likelihood of disclosing abortion in surveys. We used restricted geographic data from the 2006–2010 and 2011–2015 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) to investigate the association betwee…
Sexual and Reproductive Health Information
Covid ‐19 Abortion Bans and Their Implications for Public Health
The American Public Health Association (APHA) has long recognized that access to abortion is a fundamental right and an important component of comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care.1 However, under the guise of trying to protect the U.S. public during the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of states have called this right into question. Some politicians have attempted to exploit the current public health crisis to further prohibit or limit a…
The Sexual and Reproductive Health of Adolescents and Young Adults During the Covid ‐19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 public health crisis is having rapid and profound effects on how people around the world are living their lives. Adolescents and young adults (AYA) aged 12–24 in the United States are at low risk for hospitalization and death from COVID-19 compared with other age-groups.* However, the disease may affect other aspects of their physical, mental and social health. Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) touches upon all of these domains, a…
Pleasure and Sex Education
Sex education in the United States is limited in both its content and the measures used to collect data on what is taught. The risk-reduction framework that guides the teaching of sex education in the United States focuses almost exclusively on avoiding unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, overlooking other critical topics such as the information and skills needed to form healthy relationships and content related to sexual plea…
Abortion Reporting in the United States
Despite its frequency, abortion remains a highly sensitive, stigmatized, and difficult-to-measure behavior. We present estimates of abortion underreporting for three of the most commonly used national fertility surveys in the United States: the National Survey of Family Growth, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, and the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. Numbers of abortions reported in each survey were compar…
Ideology or Evidence? Examining the Population-Level Impact of US Government Funding to Prevent Adolescent Pregnancy

Effect of Acasi on Reporting of Abortion and Other Pregnancy Outcomes in the US National Survey of Family Growth
Abortion is a behavior that is stigmatized and difficult to measure. To improve reporting of abortion and other sensitive behaviors in the United States, the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) supplements the interviewer administered face‐to‐face (FTF) interview with audio computer‐assisted self‐interviewing (ACASI). This paper estimates differential reporting of abortion and other pregnancy outcomes (miscarriage, live birth) in the NSFG (20…
Abstinence-Only-Until-Marriage
Adolescence is marked by the emergence of human sexuality, sexual identity, and the initiation of intimate relations; within this context, abstinence from sexual intercourse can be a healthy choice. However, programs that promote abstinence-only-until-marriage (AOUM) or sexual risk avoidance are scientifically and ethically problematic and-as such-have been widely rejected by medical and public health professionals. Although abstinence is theoret…
The Role of Men's Childbearing Intentions in Father Involvement
An expanding body of research has investigated factors that influence fathers' involvement with their children. Generally overlooked has been the role of pregnancy intentions on men's fathering behaviors. In this study, the authors used nationally representative data from men interviewed in the 2002 and 2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth to examine relationships between fathers' pregnancy intentions and multiple aspects of their parental …
Changes in Adolescents' Receipt of Sex Education, 2006–2013
PURPOSE: Updated estimates of adolescents' receipt of sex education are needed to monitor changing access to information. METHODS: Using nationally representative data from the 2006-2010 and 2011-2013 National Survey of Family Growth, we estimated changes over time in adolescents' receipt of sex education from formal sources and from parents and differentials in these trends by adolescents' gender, race/ethnicity, age, and place of residence. RES…
Pregnancy Intentions, Maternal Behaviors, and Infant Health
The premise that unintended childbearing has significant negative effects on the behavior of mothers and on the health of infants strongly influences public health policy and much of current research on reproductive behaviors. Yet, the evidence base presents mixed findings. Using data from the U.S. National Survey of Family Growth, we employ a measure of pregnancy intentions that incorporates the extent of mistiming, as well as the desire scale d…
Toward a Multidimensional Measure of Pregnancy Intentions
Widely used dichotomous categorical measures of pregnancy intentions do not represent well the complexity of factors involved in women's intentions. We used a variety of exploratory statistical methods to examine measures of pregnancy intention in the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (N = 3,032 pregnancies). Factor analyses identified two key dimensions of pregnancy intentions (desire and mistiming) and two smaller nondimensional categories …
Explaining Recent Declines in Adolescent Pregnancy in the United States
Objectives. We explored the relative contributions of declining sexual activity and improved contraceptive use to the recent decline in adolescent pregnancy rates in the United States. Methods. We used data from 1995 and 2002 for women 15 to 19 years of age to develop 2 indexes: the contraceptive risk index, summarizing the overall effectiveness of contraceptive use among sexually active adolescents (including nonuse), and the overall pregnancy r…

Young Adults' Contraceptive Knowledge, Norms and Attitudes
Programs to increase young adults' knowledge about contraceptive methods and use are urgently needed. Given the demonstrated link between method knowledge and contraceptive behaviors, such programs may be useful in addressing risky behavior in this population
Women's Decisions about Breastfeeding and Maternal Employment
The last two decades have seen rapid increases in incidence of breastfeeding in United States. While fewer than 30% of women breastfed their infants during 1960s, by 1980s this figure was more than 50% (Ryan, Pratt, et al., 1991). Breastfeeding has been encouraged because it is believed to provide superior nutrition and immunological and psychological benefits to infant, and for mother, reduced risk of breast cancer, faster weight loss following …

Using Longitudinal Data to Understand Changes In Consistent Contraceptive Use
These findings build on prior research suggesting that pregnancy avoidance attitudes are an important motivator for contraceptive use. It is critical to recognize that the context in which many women make decisions about pregnancy and contraceptive use changes over relatively short periods of time
Changes in sexual behavior and condom use among teenaged males
OBJECTIVES: This study examines shifts in sexual experience and condom use among US teenaged males. METHODS: Results from the 1988 and 1995 National Surveys of Adolescent Males were compared. RESULTS: The proportion of never-married 15- to 19-year-old males who had had sex with a female declined from 60% to 55% (P = .06). The share of those sexually active using a condom at last intercourse rose from 57% to 67% (P

Neighborhood-Level Influences on Young Men's Sexual and Reproductive Health Behaviors
We used data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth to examine the influence of neighborhood characteristics on young males’ sexual and reproductive health (SRH). We linked census-tract data to construct a Neighborhood Disadvantage Scale for 1092 never-married males aged 15 to 19 years, and we examined the association of neighborhood disadvantage with 11 SRH behaviors for each male. We found significant associations between neighborhood d…

Are Pregnancy Intentions Associated with Transitions Into and Out of Marriage
The findings should motivate researchers to broaden the scope of research on the consequences of unintended childbearing. Future research should distinguish between mistimed and unwanted births
Sexual Behavior of Single Adult American Women
Because of the high level of sexual activity among single adult women, providers must address their reproductive health care needs and offer appropriate counseling and services. Government policies aimed at encouraging adult women to have sex only within marriage appear out of touch with the reality of the sexual behavior of single women
Risk Behaviors, Medical Care, and Chlamydial Infection Among Young Men in the United States
Objectives. This study assessed factors related to chlamydial infection among young men in the United States. Methods. Data were from interviews of nationally representative samples of 470 men aged 18 to 19 years (teenagers) and 995 men aged 22 to 26 years (young adults) and from urine specimens tested by means of polymerase chain reaction. Results. Although a majority of the men reported occasional unprotected intercourse, only a minority percei…

Trends in the relationship between breastfeeding and postpartum employment in the United States
It is widely assumed that employment and breastfeeding are relatively incompatible behaviors in the United States; yet recently both the incidence of breastfeeding and the incidence of postpartum employment increased. This paper examines the relationship between these trends from 1968-86 using data from the National Surveys of Family Growth. I find that these trends result from increases in the likelihood that a woman engages in both breastfeedin…

Santelli Et Al. Respond
We thank Mann and Stine for their interest in our recent article. We examined data on sexual activity and contraceptive use from the National Survey on Family Growth (NSFG) and found that most of the declines in US adolescent pregnancy from 1995 to 2002 could be attributed to improved contraceptive use: for 77% of the decline among those aged 15-17 years and for all of the decline among those aged 18-19 years. The methodological improvement in ca…
