Of 136 southern urban Negro mothers, approximately one-half had unfavorable attitudes toward birth-control practices. Religious or moral reasons and a belief that birth-control practices are inefficient or injurious to health were the chief reasons given. Age, number of children, urban or rural bithplace, and amount of education appear to be associated with differential attitudes toward birth control
