Structural interviews conducted with 532 female clients of a teen contraceptive clinic revealed a moderate level of coital activity i(in terms of both frequency of intercourse and number of partners) which typically began at age 15. Prior use of contraception was sporadic and almost exclusively confined to nonprescription methods. Primary reasons for nonuse of birth control included fear of lessening the pleasure of intercourse and lack of access to contraception. The data indicate that a combination of comprehensive sex education and ready access to birth control is necessary to prevent unintended adolescent pregnancy.

PIP: In 1975, a survey of 532 teenage women (under 18) was conducted at a teen center in a large midwestern town. The sample was 70% white, the rest mostly black, and averaged age 16.1 years. 4% had dropped out of school. 92% of the 423 sexually active women were engaged in a monogamous relationship. 56.1% had intercourse with only 1 partner in 1 year; 23.2% had 2 partners. The average age at first sexual experience is 15. Prior use of contraception was sporadic and almost exclusively confined to nonprescription methods. Lack of access to contraception and fear of lessening sexual pleasure were the primary reasons for nonuse of birth control. Data indicates that a combination of comprehensive sex education and ready access to birth control is necessary to prevent unintended adolescent pregnancy. 40% had used withdrawal; 36.9% spermicides; and 60% condoms. Those teenagers who are older at first intercouse tend to use contraception more than younger teenagers.
