It is possible that there is a relationship between reading newspapers and magazines, watching television and inverted exclamation listening to the radio and unwanted pregnancies.
To assess the relationship between the access to printed and audiovisual information resources and unwanted pregnancy in Peruvian women.
A sample of 5,071 women, aged between 18 and 30 years was selected from a database of a Demographics and Health survey performed between 2004 and 2005. Using the information obtained in the survey, the association between unwanted pregnancies and reading newspapers and magazines, was analyzed.
Twenty six percent of women had at least an unwanted child (n =1,327). Radio and television were the media mostly used by these women. Seventy five percent of women almost never read newspapers and magazines. The lack of reading and the reliance in television and radio as sources of information were all associated with unwanted pregnancy (p < 0.001).
In this sample of women, there is a negligible interest for reading and a high preference for radio and television. This explains the poor knowledge on sexual and reproductive health and the lack of impact of printed materials used in educational campaigns.
阅读报纸和杂志、看电视、听广播与意外怀孕之间可能存在关联。
评估秘鲁女性获取印刷及视听信息资源与意外怀孕之间的关系。
从2004年至2005年进行的人口与健康调查数据库中选取了5071名年龄在18至30岁之间的女性样本。利用调查中获得的信息，分析意外怀孕与阅读报纸和杂志之间的关联。
26%的女性至少有一个意外生育的孩子（n = 1327）。广播和电视是这些女性最常使用的媒体。75%的女性几乎从不阅读报纸和杂志。缺乏阅读以及依赖电视和广播作为信息来源均与意外怀孕相关（p < 0.001）。
在这个女性样本中，阅读兴趣微乎其微，对广播和电视的偏好较高。这解释了她们在性健康和生殖健康方面知识匮乏，以及教育活动中使用的印刷材料缺乏影响力的原因。
