This was the first study to take initial steps in addressing these issues by translating, validating and examining the latent structure of the unidimensional Desire to Avoid Pregnancy (DAP) scale, which has been shown to predict contraceptive use and pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted an online survey among emerging adults in China using convenience sampling.
