Condom used in combination with hormonal methods (birth control pills, monthly vaginal ring, “the shot” (Depo Provera), implant, contraceptive patch, or emergency contraception).
Condom used in combination with non-hormonal methods (intrauterine device (IUD), sponge, spermicides, diaphragm or cervical cap, withdrawal, rhythm method). Those cases in which use of a condom, a hormonal method and a non-hormonal method were endorsed were not counted here, but were included as part of the condom and hormonal category.
All methods (i.e., hormonal and/or non-hormonal) not used in combination with a condom.
Confidence in preferred birth control method: Somewhat to very confident (versus not at all confident, a little confident, or in between).
