Underreporting of abortion in surveys of U.S. women
Although research on reproductive behavior depends heavily on information from surveys, abortions are characteristically underreported in such data. Estimates of the level of reporting are made for each of the recent major surveys of U.S. women: the 1976, 1982, and 1988 cycles of the National Survey of Family Growth, the 1976 and 1979 National Surveys of Young Women, and the National Longitudinal Surveys of Work Experience of Youth. The estimates…
Underreporting of abortion in surveys of US women
The Sexual and Reproductive Behavior of American Women, 1982-1988
Comparison of 1988 data from the National Survey of Family Growth with 1982 data reveals that the proportion of U.S. women who have had sexual intercourse rose slightly, from 86 percent to 89 percent. Among teenagers, the proportion sexually active rose from 47 percent to 53 percent; most of the change is attributable to increases occurring among white and nonpoor teenagers, thus narrowing racial and income differences. Among women aged 15-44 in …

Why do Women have Abortions
Most respondents to a survey of abortion patients in 1987 said that more than one factor had contributed to their decision to have an abortion; the mean number of reasons was nearly four. Three-quarters said that having a baby would interfere with work, school or other responsibilities, about two-thirds said they could not afford to have a child and half said they did not want to be a single parent or had relationship problems. A multivariate ana…

The impact of U.S. family planning programs on births, abortions and miscarriages, 1970–1979
Fertility effects of family planning programs
Extensive effort over the last ten to fifteen years has been applied to questions of what family planning programs do to birth rates. Here we review this body of work, looking especially at the different methods used. First, attention is called to the diversity of the field, in its questions, its techniques, in the program types studied, and in assumptions as to modes of actions. Then clarifications are suggested regarding which program features …
