This study investigated variables within the Integrative Model of Behavioral Prediction (IMBP) as well as differences across socioeconomic status (SES) levels within the context of inconsistent contraceptive use among college women.
A nonprobability sample of 515 female college students completed an Internet-based survey between November 2014 and February 2015.
Respondents were asked about their contraception use, knowledge and information sources, demographic information, and IMBP factors, including attitudes, norms, and perceived behavioral control (PBC).
While overall attitudes, norms, PBC, and intentions for contraceptive use were high, only 46.8% of women used contraception consistently. Data also revealed only moderate levels of knowledge about contraception. While there were no differences across SES levels for attitudes, PBC, norms or knowledge, SES levels did differ in sources used to acquire contraceptive information.
This study highlights the need to consider where college women acquire contraceptive information which is associated with SES.
本研究在大学女性避孕措施使用不一致的背景下，调查了行为预测综合模型（IMBP）中的变量以及社会经济地位（SES）水平之间的差异。
2014年11月至2015年2月期间，515名女大学生的非概率样本完成了一项基于互联网的调查。
向受访者询问了她们的避孕措施使用情况、知识和信息来源、人口统计学信息以及IMBP因素，包括态度、规范和感知行为控制（PBC）。
虽然总体上对避孕措施的态度、规范、PBC和使用意图较高，但只有46.8%的女性始终坚持使用避孕措施。数据还显示，关于避孕的知识水平仅处于中等程度。虽然在态度、PBC、规范或知识方面，SES水平之间没有差异，但在获取避孕信息所使用的来源方面，SES水平存在差异。
本研究强调了有必要考虑大学女性获取与SES相关的避孕信息的途径。
