Concern about increasing rates of unwanted pregnancy, particularly among adolescents, has led to consideration of steps necessary to develop effective intervention programs. In order to reach a young woman for counseling and contraceptive assistance before she places herself at risk for unintended pregnancy, it seems necessary to develop the capability for identifying high-risk individuals without reference to sexual history. The authors describe a preliminary attempt to predict contraceptively unprotected coitus from responses to projective test stimuli, noting that the problem is so urgent that even early and necessarily incomplete work in this area may have merit in stimulating further research in identification of women at risk for unwanted pregnancy.

PIP: A trial series with a projective instrument was used with a sample of 85 women, aged 15-45, in an effort to stimulate other experimental and clinical efforts toward early identification of women at high risk for unwanted pregnancy. The overall strategy was to compare scores on the projective materia with a computerized behavioral measure of risking unwanted pregnancy in order to evaluate the discriminatory power of the projective test. The behavioral measure is a composite, machine-made variable that summarizes self-reported sexual behavior and feelings, and data for the behavioral measure were collected by a research assistance with no connection with the projective test scoring. I 2 of the 3 analyses, there was a statistically significant relationship between the projective test score and the behavioral measure of risk for unwanted pregnancy. On the basis of 1 modest trial, it seems that the role-redefinition criteria tap dimensions that are independent of usually described clinical syndromes. This research is not sufficiently advanced to be of general clinical value. There are problems with generalizability of the sample to the female population at large and standardization of scoring procedures.
