Interview questions included perceived susceptibility to pregnancy with and without contraception, attitudes toward pregnancy, and pregnancy intention. Interviews were audio-transcribed and coded to consensus using a seven-step coding process. Themes were identified via thematic and framework analysis, stratifying participants by pregnancy desire in the next year: yes (n\u00a0=\u00a04), no (n\u00a0=\u00a09), or don\u2019t know (n\u00a0=\u00a06).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seventeen women reported inconsistent or no contraceptive use. Some women found their risk of pregnancy was equal with and without contraception based on perceptions of specific contraception efficacy (e.g. condoms vs pills); fertility and fecundity concerns; and high abstinence self-efficacy themes. In stratified analysis, women who desired pregnancy or were uncertain of pregnancy desire in the next year reported similar perceived susceptibility with and without contraception, compared with women not desiring pregnancy in the next year.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n
