“…The male partner can play a persuasive role in the promotion of and engagement in risk behaviours, such as sex without condoms. The literature supports this finding and shows that effective communication is essential for an agreement on contraceptive use [46]. More specifically, the non-use of condoms by male partners has been linked to poor knowledge about sexual health and lack of communication [47].…”

Unwanted pregnancies are considered a public health problem that affects women’s mental health and quality of life. The aim of this paper was to access university students’ understanding and behaviours regarding unwanted pregnancies and identify their needs to prevent them. Qualitative descriptive design was used, and 13 semi-structured interviews were carried out. Women between 18 and 20 years old participated. They discussed a lack of training for themselves, their partners, and their families, their desire to have access to non-in-person health care resources, and their belief that contraception was expensive. Emotional aspects were relevant, affecting the way communication is established with those close to them and with health professionals. Despite the existence of access to sexual health resources, the findings show the existence of needs related to the prevention of unwanted pregnancies. The findings are presented grouping the main identified needs as “related to capability”, “related to opportunity”, and “related to motivation”. Among the aspects to consider when designing interventions to prevent unwanted pregnancies are the feelings shown by these women, the inclusion of couples and family members in educational programs, and access to non-face-to-face health resources and less expensive contraceptive methods. Interventions for social support and understanding of women are necessary both to prevent unwanted pregnancies and to support adolescents with unwanted pregnancies by avoiding criminalization or blame.

“…LGBTQIA youth, and young male partners' infl u e n c e s o n f a m i l y p l a n n i n g d e c i s i o n s respectively.21-23 The findings from these three reviews outline how HIC youth prefer centres that emphasize confidential and youth focused contraception care.21 Barriers to family planning services among LGBTQIA communities include stigma by healthcare practitioners and lack of knowledge regarding LGBTQIA peoples' unique needs.22 Young male partners were found to be large influences on partners' contraception use. 23 Outside of these three topics, insights into the current literature state of HIC youth contraception barriers remains unknown. A review explicitly focused on HIC youth contraception barriers is needed to comprehensively understand current issues in these countries so positive change can be made to help reach the WHO 2030 goal of universal contraception access.…”
