Relationship Characteristics and Feelings About Pregnancy Among Black and Puerto Rican Young Adults
Relationship characteristics were associated with feelings about pregnancy for both genders. Future research should utilize a more comprehensive framework for conceptualizing and examining sexual relationships
Condom Use with Serious and Casual Heterosexual Partners
Strategies for Managing the Dual Risk of Sexually Transmitted Infections and Unintended Pregnancy Among Puerto Rican and African American Young Adults
Although young adults in the United States are at increased risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancy, they do not report high rates of dual-method use (condoms plus other contraception) for prevention. We used prospective qualitative data from 69 urban Puerto Rican and African American individuals aged 18 to 25 years to determine how they managed these risks in their heterosexual relationships during a 4- to 8-week…
STD and HIV Testing Behaviors Among Black And Puerto Rican Young Adults
Despite their risks, participants did not perceive themselves to be at risk of STDs. However, they did report testing repeatedly. Testing was highly acceptable, particularly within serious relationships. Questions about the timing of testing initiation and repeat testing merit attention for the benefits of widespread testing to be fully realized
Love and Hooking Up in the New Millennium
Communication technology is a central feature of young people's lives, but its role in romantic and sexual relationships has not been thoroughly examined. This article describes how young adults use communication technology for partnering across relationship stages (formation, maintenance, and dissolution) and types (serious/casual), and proposes implications of usage in relationships. This study analyzed qualitative data from a five-week, prospe…
Family Planning Service Delivery Research
This article focuses on contraceptive cycling or recurring episodes of method uptake discontinuation and switching over the course of a womans reproductive life span as an important implication for the prevention of unintended pregnancy. It describes the dynamics of contraceptive use the need for new family planning service models and implications for research and practice for the delivery of family planning care
Heterosexual Anal Sex Experiences Among Puerto Rican and Black Young Adults
Heterosexual anal sex is not an infrequent behavior and should be considered in a broad sexual health context, not simply as an indicator of STD risk. Health providers should address it openly and, when appropriate, as a positive sexual and emotional experience
Withdrawal Attitudes and Experiences
Health care provider discussions with patients about withdrawal could give greater insight into risk behaviors. More informed prevention counseling messages would be helped by better effectiveness estimates and understanding of factors most likely to result in withdrawal failure
Man 2 Man
Despite a growing awareness of the importance of involving male adolescents in pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention efforts information is lacking regarding the design and delivery of effective male-specific strategies. In this special report we describe the evolution of a promising program in Philadelphia Man2Man instituted through the collaborative efforts of the Family Planning Council; the Drexel University School of Pu…
