Factors Associated with Unintended Pregnancy, Contraceptive Risk-Taking, and Interest in Pharmacist-Provided Birth Control

Abstract

Data for this study were gathered through an anonymous, written survey of 97 adult women under age 50. Primary outcomes were unplanned pregnancy and contraceptive risk-taking, defined as inconsistent use of contraceptives without desire for pregnancy. Two multivariate logistic regression models identified factors associated with each outcome, adjusting for income, educational attainment, receipt of sex education, and birth country. A separate model determined factors associated with interest in pharmacist-prescribed contraception.
