BACKGROUND
The study was conducted to examine the relationship between cultural adaptation (acculturation), contraceptive use, personal history of induced abortion, and emergency contraceptive (EC) awareness and acquisition among a sample of young sexually active Hispanic women.
STUDY DESIGN
A total of 959 Hispanic women between 16 and 24 years of age (mean±SD 20.71±2.42 years) completed a survey containing questions on EC acquisition and awareness, acculturation, contraceptive used at last intercourse and history of induced abortion. Data were analyzed using logistic regression analyses.
RESULTS
Acculturation (p=.017), income (p=.024) and education (p<.001) were positively associated with awareness of EC. Additionally, acculturation (p=.003) and a history of an induced abortion (p=.026) were positively associated with acquisition of EC.
CONCLUSIONS
Educational programs should make an effort to include Hispanic women with lower acculturation levels as increasing their knowledge about EC use and its mechanism of action may greatly reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies in this population.
背景
本研究旨在探讨文化适应（文化融入）、避孕措施使用、人工流产个人史与紧急避孕（EC）意识和获取之间的关系，研究对象为一组年轻的活跃西班牙裔女性。
研究设计
共有 959 名年龄在 16 至 24 岁之间（平均年龄±SD 20.71±2.42 岁）的西班牙裔女性完成了一项调查，其中包含关于 EC 获取和意识、文化融入、上次性行为中使用的避孕措施以及人工流产史的问题。使用逻辑回归分析对数据进行分析。
结果
文化融入（p=.017）、收入（p=.024）和教育（p<.001）与 EC 意识呈正相关。此外，文化融入（p=.003）和人工流产史（p=.026）与 EC 获取呈正相关。
结论
教育计划应努力包括文化融入程度较低的西班牙裔女性，因为增加她们对 EC 使用及其作用机制的了解可能会大大减少该人群中非计划怀孕的数量。
