Information is needed to understand what characteristics are associated with risky contraceptive use practices among this population and to develop new strategies for reducing these women's risk of unintended pregnancy.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>\n            <jats:bold>METHODS:<\/jats:bold> Data related to unintended pregnancy risk were collected from a nationally representative sample of 1,800 unmarried women and men aged 18\u201329 surveyed by telephone in 2009. Among those at risk of unintended pregnancy, multiple logistic regression was used to assess associations between contraceptive knowledge, norms and attitudes and selected risky contraceptive behaviors.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>\n            <jats:bold>RESULTS:<\/jats:bold> More than half of young men and a quarter of young women received low scores on contraceptive knowledge, and six in 10 underestimated the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. Among women, for each correct response on a contraceptive knowledge scale, the odds of expecting to have unprotected sex in the next three months decreased by 9%, of currently using a hormonal or long\u2010acting reversible method increased by 17%, and of using no method decreased by 17%. Fear of side effects, norms and attitudes that favor nonmarital pregnancy or undervalue the importance of contraception, pregnancy ambivalence and mistrust of government's role in promoting contraception were also associated with one or more risky contraceptive use behaviors.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>\n            <jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:bold> Programs to increase young adults\u2019 knowledge about contraceptive methods and use are urgently needed. Given the demonstrated link between method knowledge and contraceptive behaviors, such programs may be useful in addressing risky behavior in this population.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1363\/4410712","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,8]],"date-time":"2012-05-08T13:19:15Z","timestamp":1336483155000},"page":"107-116","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":194,"title":["Young Adults' Contraceptive Knowledge, Norms and Attitudes: Associations with Risk Of Unintended Pregnancy"],"prefix":"10.1363","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Jennifer J.","family":"Frost","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura Duberstein","family":"Lindberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lawrence B.","family":"Finer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"259","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.contraception.2011.07.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","unstructured":"Institute of Medicine Speaking of Health: Assessing Health Communications Strategies for Diverse Populations Washington DC:National Academy of Sciences 2003."},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/109019817400200407"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","unstructured":"AjzenIandFishbeinM Understanding Attitudes and Predicting Social Behavior Englewood Cliffs NJ:Prentice\u2010Hall 1980."},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-1031(86)90045-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","unstructured":"BanduraA Social Foundations of Thought and Action: A Social Cognitive Theory Englewood Cliffs NJ:Prentice\u2010Hall 1986."},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","unstructured":"JaccardJ Unlocking the Contraceptive Conundrum Washington DC:National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy 2009."},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0044118X06296907"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1931-2393.2003.tb00177.x"},{"issue":"113","key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","first-page":"13","article-title":"Attitudes, knowledge, and behavior regarding condom use in urban black adolescent males","volume":"29","author":"Wilson MD","year":"1994","journal-title":"Adolescence"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2648158"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpag.2003.09.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1207\/s15327795jra0301_4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1054-139X(03)00134-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1931-2393.2004.tb00029.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mob.2002.120081"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1363\/3909007"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_2","unstructured":"KayeK SuellentropKandSloupC The Fog Zone: How Misperceptions Magical Thinking and Ambivalence Put Young Adults at Risk for Unplanned Pregnancy Washington DC:National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy 2009."},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_2","unstructured":"American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) Standard Definitions: Final Dispositions of Case Codes and Outcome Rates for Surveys seventh ed.
