Unplanned pregnancy creates significant problems for active-duty female soldiers and also elicits concern among military leaders when planning for mobilization. The purpose of this three-group comparative survey is to ascertain probable reasons for unplanned pregnancy occurrence that will be useful in developing appropriate interventions directed at decreasing the incidence of such pregnancies. Active-duty female soldiers (n = 112) in-processing at a large military installation responded to a 41-item questionnaire focused on respondents' reproductive histories, beliefs and knowledge about contraception, and contraceptive use. Descriptive statistics, the Kruskal-Wallis One-Way Analysis of Variance, and Chi-Square non-parametric statistical tests were used for analysis of the data. Findings revealed that when compared to the two post-adolescent groups, the adolescent female soldiers reported: (a) a greater number of sexual partners, (b) greater frequency of intercourse, (c) less knowledge about the reproductive cycle, and (d) greater non-use of any birth control method.
意外怀孕给现役女兵带来了重大问题，同时也在军事领导人进行动员规划时引发了担忧。这项三组比较调查的目的是确定意外怀孕发生的可能原因，这将有助于制定适当的干预措施以降低此类怀孕的发生率。在一个大型军事基地接受入伍前检查的现役女兵（n = 112）回答了一份包含41个项目的问卷，该问卷聚焦于受访者的生殖史、对避孕的信念和知识以及避孕措施的使用情况。描述性统计、Kruskal-Wallis单向方差分析和卡方非参数统计检验被用于数据分析。研究结果显示，与两个青春期后组相比，青春期女兵报告称：（a）性伴侣数量更多，（b）性交频率更高，（c）对生殖周期的了解更少，以及（d）更多地未使用任何避孕方法。
