Critical Issues in Contraceptive and STI Acceptability Research
We review conceptual issues and theoretical frameworks related to users' acceptability of new technologies designed to protect reproductive health and prevent unwanted pregnancy. Special attention is given to distinctions among different kinds of users' perspectives regarding acceptability, as well as differentiating acceptability from assessments of the efficacy of innovative methods. Emphasis is also given to the larger context of couple decisi…

Christine A. Bachrach, Susan Newcomer, Intended Pregnancies and Unintended Pregnancies: Distinct Categories or Opposite Ends of a Continuum?, Family Planning Perspectives, Vol. 31, No. 5 (Sep. - Oct., 1999), pp. 251-252

Parent-Teen Communication
Parent-teen communication has been underestimated in its impact on preventing unintended pregnancies. The goal of this monograph is to identify the methodological and conceptual weaknesses in past research and to apply these consideration in the analysis of data. The emphasis is on parent-teen communication about premarital sex and premarital pregnancy and the development of parent education programs. The focus is on what parents say and do to mo…
Out of Wedlock Childbearing in an Ante-Bellum Southern County
Bastardy bonds and 1850 census data from Wake County, North Carolina are used to examine the extent of out-of-wedlock childbearing in that county. Women who bore children out of wedlock lived in female headed households, and the fathers were more likely to be well-off heads of households. The same women recurred in the bonds, as did some of the same men. Rates of white out-of-wedlock births were found not to differ greatly from those of 1970
Adolescents' Honesty in a Survey of Sexual Behavior
Adolescents' reports of whether they told the truth about having had intercourse when answering a two years prior survey of sexual behavior are used to examine the correlates of such behavior. Seven percent of the young people say they did not tell the truth at Time 1. Another substan tial proportion seem to be unclear about what they said, and, perhaps, about the timing of their first intercourse. Implications of these findings for survey resear…

Parental Marital Status Effects on Adolescent Sexual Behavior
Data from a panel study of virgin adolescents first interviewed in junior high school confirm previous findings by others that parental marital status and its changes are related to initiation of coitus by young adolescents. 1405 out of an eligible 1923 adolescents in 4 junior high schools (73%) were interviewed and filled out a confidential questionnaire in their own homes. 2 years later in 1982 82% of the the original interviewees were reinterv…
