Note. Adjustments are made for age and marital or cohabitation status; p values correspond to post hoc, univariate tests. SAAQ = Sexual Activities and Attitudes Questionnaire; STD = sexually transmitted disease.
Variables are scored 1 = 12 years old or younger; 2 = 13–14 years old; 3 = 15–16 years old; 4 = 17–18 years-old; 5 = 19–20 years old; 6 = 21 years old or older.
Variables are scored 1 = 1; 2 = 2 or 3; 3 = 4–7; 4 = 7–10; 5 = more than 10.
Variables are scored from 1 = I never use birth control, to 6 = For sure, every time I have sex I use birth control.
Percentage currently trying to conceive is also controlled.
p < .05.
p < .01.
