California is home to more than one out of eight American women of reproductive age. Because California has a large, diverse and growing population, national statistics do not necessarily describe the reproductive health of California women. This article presents risk for pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections among women in California based on the California Women's Health Survey. Over 8900 women of reproductive age who participated in this survey between 1998 and 2001 provide estimates of access to care and use of family-planning methods in the state. We find that 49% of the female population aged 18-44 in California is at risk of unintended pregnancy. Nine percent (9%) of women at risk of an unintended pregnancy are not using any method of contraception, primarily for method-related reasons, such as a concern about side effects or a dislike of available contraceptive methods. Among women at risk for unintended pregnancy, we find disparities by race/ethnicity and education in use of contraceptive methods.
美国育龄女性中，超过八分之一居住在加利福尼亚州。由于加利福尼亚州人口众多、多样化且不断增长，全国性统计数据未必能描述该州女性的生殖健康状况。本文基于加利福尼亚州女性健康调查，呈现该州女性怀孕及性传播感染的风险情况。1998年至2001年间参与此项调查的8900多名育龄女性提供了该州医疗服务可及性及计划生育方法使用情况的估计数据。我们发现，加利福尼亚州18至44岁的女性中有49%面临意外怀孕风险。有意外怀孕风险的女性中，9%未采取任何避孕措施，主要是出于与方法相关的原因，比如担心副作用或不喜欢现有的避孕方法。在有意外怀孕风险的女性中，我们发现避孕方法的使用在种族/族裔和教育程度方面存在差异。
