Preventing Sexual Risk Behaviors and Pregnancy Among Teenagers: Linking Research and Programs
Potential barriers to the removal of Norplant among family planning clinic patients
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the prevalence and effects of potential barriers to removal of levonorgestrel implants (Norplant) among low-income women. METHODS: A sample of 687 women who received Norplant at hospital-based family planning clinics were interviewed before Norplant insertion and 6 months after Norplant insertion (or at Norplant removal if removal occurred earlier). Those who continued to use Norplant were reinterviewed at 2 years …
Injectable contraceptive discontinuation and subsequent unintended pregnancy among low-income women
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated rates of discontinuation of the recently introduced injectable contraceptive depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) and postdiscontinuation rates of unprotected intercourse and unintended pregnancy. METHODS: A sample of 402 low-income, urban, minority women were interviewed when they initiated DMPA use and 12 months later. RESULTS: The 12-month life-table discontinuation rate was 58%, with half of the discont…

Determinants of Early Implant Discontinuation among Low-income Women
The determinants of contraceptive implant discontinuation within six months of insertion were examined among 786 low-income women attending family planning clinics in three U.S. cities. The six-month cumulative life-table discontinuation rate was 7.6%. Menstrual side effects were the most common reasons given for early implant removal, although women who discontinued use were no more likely than those who continued with the method to report menst…
Changes in Menstrual Symptoms among Sterilized and Comparison Women: A Prospective Study
Changes in menstrual parameters after tubal sterilization were analyzed in ethnically diverse, poor women from three geographic areas in the United States. Two large suitable comparison groups were similarly studied. Menstrual cycles, duration of menstrual flow, and bleeding between periods were unchanged in the sterilization and comparison groups. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea increased in 10.8% of sterilized women, compared with 2.1% in the co…
Amount of information about the attitude object and attitude–behavior consistency
The synthesis of two separate lines of inquiry--research on information integration and longitudinal studies of attitudes--prompted the hypothesis that the degree of consistency between attitudes and behavior will increase as a function of the amount of information available about the attitude object. The hypothesis was tested in three separate longitudinal studies, ranging in length from 4 days to 4 months, that investigated the following behavi…
A comparison of three social-psychological models of attitude and behavioral plan: Prediction of contraceptive behavior
We compared the predictive validities of three prominent models of attitudes and behavioral decisions: Rosenberg's instrumentality-value model, Fishbein's belief-evaluation model, and Beach's adaptation of subjective expected utility theory. Seventy female undergraduates rated each of the models' components and reported their attitudes and behavioral plans toward using three different methods of contraception. With the traditional across-subjects…
Predicting contraceptive behavior from attitudes: A comparison of within- versus across-subjects procedures
Within- versus across-subjects procedures for predicting behavior from attitudes were contrasted. Each procedure requires a comparison among attitudes in order to generate a prediction; the comparison is either among the same attitudes held by different people (across subjects) or among different attitudes held by the same person (within subject). It was hypothesized that the within-subject model provides a more adequate explanation of behavior f…

Perceived probability and evaluation of balance, agreement, and attraction: Toward a solution of conflicting results
Fifty‐four subjects rated sixteen hypothetical situations on four evaluative and four probability scales. The situations were of the P‐O‐X type, consisting of two persons and an issue. A2×2×2×2 factorial design was used to test the relative importance of attitude (P to × relation), issue (marijuana or premarital sex), agreement (P to × and O to × relations), attraction (P to O relation), and balance (agreement × attraction interaction) on the eva…
The relation of psychological, social, and economic variables to fertility-related decisions
To test a recent model of social behavior, a questionnaire was designed and administered to 270 married women in a midwestern city. A stratified random sample was obtained, comprising a 2 × 3 factorial design (Catholic vs. Protestant and high vs. middle vs. low socioeconomic status). It was hypothesized that an individual’s intention to engage in a fertility-related behavior would be highly correlated with (a) her beliefs about the consequences o…
A Comparison of Two Models of Social Behavior: Results of a Survey Sample
Population psychology: A new look at an old problem
On the basis of a theoretical model developed by Fishbein it was predicted that an individuals intention to engage in a specific family planning behavior is a function of 2 components: ones beliefs regarding the consequences of performing that behavior multiplied by the evaluation of those consequences; and ones normative beliefs multiplied by ones motivation to comply with those perceived notions. The study subjects consisted of a stratified ran…
