This article analyzes determinants of contraceptive method choices among adolescent women in the United States. By using data from the 1982 National Survey of Family Growth, we examined factors that differentiate users of various methods early in the sexual careers of teenaged women. We find that patterns of method choice not only vary by race and region within the United States but also change over the teenager's life course. In addition, among teenagers who did not use a method at first sex, the likelihood of adopting a method soon thereafter was low for both whites and blacks and was unaffected by social structural characteristics.
本文分析了美国青春期女性避孕方法选择的决定因素。通过使用1982年全国家庭成长调查的数据，我们研究了在少女的性经历早期区分各种避孕方法使用者的因素。我们发现，避孕方法的选择模式不仅在美国境内因种族和地区而异，而且在青少年的人生历程中也会发生变化。此外，在首次性行为时未使用避孕方法的青少年中，白人和黑人此后不久采用避孕方法的可能性都很低，且不受社会结构特征的影响。
