Interviews of 256 (190 black--66 white) females between 15 and 44 years of age in a public housing project revealed significantly consistent family planning attitudes. Users of birth control had significantly more consistent attitude structures than nonusers. To produce attitude change optimal persuasive appeals should emphasize: 1) birth control does work; 2) birth control does not lead to specified detrimental consequences; 3) birth control leads to specified beneficial consequences
