Paternal Influences on the Timing of Prenatal Care Among Hispanics
Consistency of Condom Use Among Low-Income Hormonal Contraceptive Users
CONTEXT: Hormonal contraceptive users may be at increased risk for HIV and other STDs. An understanding of their decisions and abilities to use condoms is needed to focus intervention programs aimed at improving their protective behaviors. METHODS: Between 1999 and 2001, 426 new users of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) and oral contraceptives were recruited from public clinics providing family planning services to low-income women and su…
Consistency of Condom Use Among Low-Income Hormonal Contraceptive Users
Many women at highest risk for disease have a decreased likelihood of using condoms, and disease prevention programs should be customized to target these women. Educational efforts focusing on women's attitudes and negotiation skills may be the best means of increasing dual method use
Extra-relational sex among Hispanic women and their condom-related behaviours and attitudes
Limited data are available concerning sexual behaviour of Hispanic women. A total of 318 Hispanic women were surveyed concerning extra-relational sex and their condom-related attitudes. Fifteen per cent of the sample had a secondary sex partner (apart from the first partner) during the three months preceding the survey. Of these women, 77 and 53% used condoms with their secondary and primary partners, respectively. Among women in monogamous relat…
Laparoscopic Tubal Sterilization Under Local Anesthesia
Laparoscopic tubal sterilization has been performed under local anesthesia in the United States since 1971. Pilot studies suggested that local anesthesia was as adequate and as safe as general anesthesia. Since 1980, the senior author has performed more than 3000 outpatient laparoscopic tubal sterilizations with the silastic ring under local anesthesia. A retrospective descriptive study was conducted on 2827 cases. The technical failure rate was …

Many studies have collected demographic data on abortion-seeking women and girls. Attitudes to abortion have been found to be related to religion and religiosity, and to levels of income and education. Relationships have been found between abortion attitudes and…
