OBJECTIVES
To examine contraceptive methods used by adolescent/young adult women of diverse sexual orientations.
STUDY DESIGN
We collected data from 12,902 females, born 1982-1995, from the longitudinal Growing Up Today Study.
RESULTS
Compared to heterosexuals, lesbians were half as likely to use contraceptives; other sexual minority subgroups (e.g., bisexuals) were more likely to use contraceptives, particularly long-acting reversible contraceptives.
CONCLUSIONS
Many sexual minority women use contraception throughout adolescence/young adulthood, though use is low among lesbians.
IMPLICATIONS
With limited contraception use, lesbians miss opportunities for care and need to be brought into the healthcare system in other ways.
目的
调查不同性取向的青少年/年轻成年女性使用的避孕方法。
研究设计
我们从纵向今日成长研究中收集了 12902 名出生于 1982 年至 1995 年的女性的数据。
结果
与异性恋者相比，女同性恋者使用避孕药具的可能性低一半；其他性少数群体（例如双性恋者）更有可能使用避孕药具，特别是长效可逆避孕措施。
结论
许多性少数女性在青少年/年轻成年期使用避孕措施，但女同性恋者的使用率较低。
意义
由于避孕措施的使用有限，女同性恋者错过了护理机会，需要通过其他方式纳入医疗保健系统。
