Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986. Forty five percent of black women have at least one child by the time they are turn twenty compared to 19 percent of white women. Eight-six percent of the births to black teens occurred to unmarried mothers compared to 30 percent among whites. Research shows that teenage childbearing has negative medical, social, and economic consequences and that women who first gave birth as teenagers are more likely to raise their families in poverty. In Choice and Circumstance the authors explore tree factors underlying the racial differences in the incidence of early childbearing; information about sex, pregnancy and contraception; need for family planning and abortion services; and motivation for postponing parenthood, including aspirations for schooling, employment plans and desire for children within marriage. They consider which teens postpone sex and pregnancy and why, and whether the kinds of motivation necessary to prevent early pregnancy vary by race in the United Sates, perhaps explaining the race differences in early childbearing.

Book Synopsis Adolescent Sexuality by : Constance H Shapiro
Download or read book Adolescent Sexuality written by Constance H Shapiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an invaluable resource to help professionals understand the broad range of issues and challenges that adolescents face as they grapple with their sexuality. This highly informative volume addresses the most compelling issues of adolescent sexuality. Sexual orientation, acquaintance rape, new social roles, and sexually transmitted diseases are among the numerous topics that social workers confront daily in helping adolescents define and seek solutions to their sex-related concerns. Adolescent Sexuality highlights the importance of innovative approaches and client empowerment in prevention and treatment programs for youth, particularly in this era of declining federal support. This timely volume reveals the reluctance of adolescents to confide in their families; therefore, experts offer valuable suggestions for social workers to strengthen and use community resources--the church, family planning agencies, schools, and support groups--to supplement the efforts of many families.

Book Synopsis Attitudes and Beliefs of African American Women on Contraception as Pregnancy Prevention by : Kristen Conover

This book was released on 2008 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Attitudes and Beliefs of African American Women on Contraception as Pregnancy Prevention / Kristen Conover. Purpose: To understand the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of young African American women, ages 19-24 regarding contraception as pregnancy prevention. Background: Many studies have reported decreased disparities in adverse birth outcomes for minority women. However, African American women in Ohio are showing little or no improvement (Ohio Department of Health, 2006). Compared to women over 20 years old, teenagers age 13-19 are at increased risk for adverse birth outcomes such as pregnancy-related anemia, gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia and premature delivery (Goonewardene & Waduge, 2005). A recent decline in overall teenage pregnancy rates from 1991-2003 was due largely in part to an increased use of contraception. However, the rate of pregnancies in black adolescents was two and a half times higher than their non-Hispanic white counterparts (United States Department of Health and Human Services, 2000). Previous research has shown that a disconnect between information in a health care message and the knowledge level of the audience affects health behaviors (Mark, 2005). This disconnect may help explain the lack of decline in African American teenage pregnancy rates. Theoretical Framework: This study is based on the Life Course Health Continuum (Halfon, Russ, & Regaldo, 2005) continuum which states: 1) health is a continuum impacted by experiences across the life span, 2) experiences provide a context for health behaviors and health status, and 3) positive health outcomes are maximized by increasing the competence of the individual. Research Questions: 1. What are the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of young African American women age 19-24 (African American) regarding contraception as pregnancy prevention? 2. What are some of the issues raised by these young women for and against contraception as pregnancy prevention? 3. What advice would young African American women give to African American teenagers on how to stay healthy? 4. Do particular perceptions vary by geographical location? Subjects: African American women ages 19-24 from Northeast, Central, and Southwest Ohio (n=41). Methods: Data for this qualitative study were collected through focus groups. Participants were recruited through churches and other community organizations. The semi-structured focus groups addressed health care issues regarding contraception and pregnancy as well as other topics relevant to preconception and interconception care for young African American women. The discussions were digitally recorded and analyzed through content analysis with categorizing of phrases and statements into themes and patterns for each topic area. Members of the research team independently code data and validate emerging themes and patterns. Results: Six major themes were elicited from the data analysis based on the six research questions asked in the focus group discussions. (1) Methods mentioned to prevent pregnancy were most frequently condoms and abstinence, and there is a lack of knowledge on more long-term methods such as intrauterine devices. (2) The reasons young African American women do not prevent pregnancy to preserve a future for themselves. (3) Methods mentioned to prevent sexually transmitted infections leave the situation out of the woman's control. (4) The reasons young African American women do not prevent sexually transmitted infection reflect a lack of knowledge and partner pressure. (5) The reasons young African American women choose not to have sex are for short term prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, not to preserve the potential for long-term goals. (6) Advice that young African American women would give to African American teenagers on how to stay healthy focus on health, staying in school and avoiding boys and sex. Overall responses did not vary by region. In some circumstances there were regions that had unique responses which have been indicated and taken into consideration in the data analysis. Implications: Results of this study can be used to develop culturally sensitive health care messages that nurses can implement in patient teaching with young African American women and teenagers to reduce adverse birth outcomes for African American women and babies.
Book Synopsis The Best Intentions by : Committee on Unintended Pregnancy
Download or read book The Best Intentions written by Committee on Unintended Pregnancy and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-06-16 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts estimate that nearly 60 percent of all U.S. pregnancies--and 81 percent of pregnancies among adolescents--are unintended. Yet the topic of preventing these unintended pregnancies has long been treated gingerly because of personal sensitivities and public controversies, especially the angry debate over abortion. Additionally, child welfare advocates long have overlooked the connection between pregnancy planning and the improved well-being of families and communities that results when children are wanted. Now, current issues--health care and welfare reform, and the new international focus on population--are drawing attention to the consequences of unintended pregnancy. In this climate The Best Intentions offers a timely exploration of family planning issues from a distinguished panel of experts. This committee sheds much-needed light on the questions and controversies surrounding unintended pregnancy. The book offers specific recommendations to put the United States on par with other developed nations in terms of contraceptive attitudes and policies, and it considers the effectiveness of over 20 pregnancy prevention programs. The Best Intentions explores problematic definitions--"unintended" versus "unwanted" versus "mistimed"--and presents data on pregnancy rates and trends. The book also summarizes the health and social consequences of unintended pregnancies, for both men and women, and for the children they bear. Why does unintended pregnancy occur? In discussions of "reasons behind the rates," the book examines Americans' ambivalence about sexuality and the many other social, cultural, religious, and economic factors that affect our approach to contraception. The committee explores the complicated web of peer pressure, life aspirations, and notions of romance that shape an individual's decisions about sex, contraception, and pregnancy. And the book looks at such practical issues as the attitudes of doctors toward birth control and the place of contraception in both health insurance and "managed care." The Best Intentions offers frank discussion, synthesis of data, and policy recommendations on one of today's most sensitive social topics. This book will be important to policymakers, health and social service personnel, foundation executives, opinion leaders, researchers, and concerned individuals. May
