Percentage distribution of women aged 18–24 who were not pregnant or trying to become pregnant, and their male partners, by selected characteristics, Young Couples Study, 2015–2016
| Characteristic | All (N=100) | Women (N=50) | Men (N=50) |

| Public | 31 | 34 | 28 |
| None | 10 | 6 | 14 |
| Total | 100 | 100 | 100 |
Notes: Participants could identify with multiple racial and ethnic groups, thus the sum of all categories exceeds 100. Four men were missing data on relationship length, and so percentages do not total 100. One woman did not know her health insurance status, while a second had both public and private insurance (and so contributed to each category).
