This study prospectively investigates associations among youth religiosity, religious denomination, and contraception use. Associations between youth religiosity and religious denomination, and type of contraceptive used and consistent contraceptive use among sexually active youth (N = 757) were analyzed using multinomial and binomial logistic regression. Identifying with a religious denomination was a predictor of dual contraceptive use relative to using no method of contraception (AOR = 2.17). There was no association between youth religiosity and type of contraceptive use or contraceptive consistency. Religious leaders and public health practitioners should collaborate to develop strategies to engage in conversations with sexually active youth about contraceptive use.
本研究前瞻性地调查了青少年宗教信仰、宗教信仰和避孕措施使用之间的关系。采用多项逻辑回归和二项逻辑回归分析了 757 名有性行为的青少年中，青少年宗教信仰和宗教信仰与所使用的避孕方法类型以及一致性之间的关系。与不使用任何避孕方法相比，认同宗教信仰是双重避孕措施使用的预测因素（AOR=2.17）。青少年的宗教信仰与避孕方法的类型或避孕方法的一致性之间没有关联。宗教领袖和公共卫生从业者应合作制定战略，与有性行为的青少年就避孕措施使用问题进行沟通。
