“…14 These differences may be impacted by varying attitudes and practices regarding sexuality and family planning based on cultural norms shaped by and reinforced within families and communities. [15][16][17] For instance, Rocca et al 18 reported significant differences in the perception of childbearing between racial/ethnic groups, with childbearing being perceived as more favorable among Asian/Pacific Islander (API) women and unfavorable among White women relative to Black women. 18 Also, pregnancy intention and types of contraception used have been reported to vary between racial/ethnic groups and based on level of education and income.…”

Black and multiracial women seeking care in family planning clinics have a disproportionately high prevalence of RC and UIP. RC may partially explain differences in UIP prevalence, with the effect of race/ethnicity slightly attenuated in RC-adjusted models. However, the impact of RC on risk for UIP was similar for White and Black women. Findings from this study support the need to understand and prevent RC, particularly among women of color. Results are foundational in understanding disparities in RC and UIP that may have implications for refinement of clinical care.

“…Evidence from the past 5 years suggests that in some populations, males have low levels of knowledge about specific contraceptive methods other than condoms (Carter, Bergdall, Henry-Moss, Hatfield-Timajchy, & Hock-Long, 2012; Frost, Lindberg, & Finer, 2012; Marshall & Gomez, 2015). Some studies have documented low levels of contraceptive method knowledge, particularly among Black and Latino males (Borrero, Farkas, Dehlendorf, & Rocca, 2013), perhaps reflecting disparities in sex education (Farkas et al, 2015). While the literature includes some small, qualitative studies examining young males’ awareness of female partner contraceptive use in the United States (Merkh, Whittaker, Baker, Hock-Long, & Armstrong, 2009), few examinations of males’ ability to report partner method use exist that use population-based data (Higgins et al, 2014; Martinez, Copen, & Abma, 2011).…”

Males’ Ability to Report Their Partner’s Contraceptive Use at Last Sex in a Nationally Representative Sample: Implications for Unintended Pregnancy Prevention Evaluations

Addressing and enabling the role of males in contraceptive choices may facilitate efforts to reduce unintended pregnancy rates and disparities in the United States, but little is known about males’ ability to report their partners’ contraceptive use. Data from the 2011-2013 National Survey of Family Growth from 2,238 males aged 15 to 44 years who had vaginal sex with a noncohabiting or nonmarital partner and were not seeking pregnancy were examined to tabulate the proportion of males able to report whether their partner used a specific contraceptive method use at last sex (PCM) by sociodemographic and sexual history characteristics. Logistic regression was used to assess odds of being unable to report PCM, adjusting for age and sexual history factors. Most (95.0%) were able to report PCM, with no difference by age group (chi-square = 7.27, p = .281) in unadjusted analyses. Males with a new sex partner (14.8% of the sample), compared with those with an established sex partner, had significantly higher odds of being unable to report PCM in bivariate (11.7% vs. 3.7%, chi-square = 39.39, p < .001) and multivariable (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 3.17, 95% confidence interval [CI: 1.74, 5.65]) analyses. Those whose last sexual encounter was more than 3 months ago also had higher odds of being unable to report in bivariate (OR: 1.74, 95% CI [1.05, 2.87]) and multivariable analyses (AOR: 2.04, 95% CI [1.04, 4.03]). Most men were able report PCM, but reporting was significantly lower among men with new sex partners. To inform future research and evaluation relying on male report, validation studies comparing male report with partner report, specifically among new couples, are needed.

“…Although decisions regarding contraception are often left up to the female partner, the role of the male partner must be examined as part of the strategy to decrease unintended pregnancy. Utilizing data from the 2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth, one study attempted to better understand knowledge of contraception among young men [21]. Researchers found that although 96.6% of men reported formal sex education, Black men were less likely to receive contraceptive education [21].…”

Researchers found that although 96.6% of men reported formal sex education, Black men were less likely to receive contraceptive education [21]. Another study examining contraceptive knowledge found that men were more likely to "display serious gaps in objective knowledge about the major contraceptive options" [22].…”

Unintended pregnancy is a major global issue. Women who experience an unintended pregnancy have a significant risk of morbidity and mortality. Additionally, these women also experience substantial financial hardships. Many women, particularly women of color, do not have adequate access to reliable and affordable contraception resulting in major health disparities among this group. This review explores the relationship between unintended pregnancy and inadequate access to contraception and is divided into 5 sections: addressing problems associated with unintended pregnancies, unintended pregnancy rate in the US, disparities of unintended pregnancy rates and access to care, addressing potential solutions, and finally conclusions. Keyterms unintended pregnancy, healthcare disparities, contraception, access to care.
