A survey of 3,000 unwanted pregnancies disclosed two main populations differing in age, marital status, and contraceptive practice. Failure to use contraception accounted for two-thirds of the pregnancies. More than half of the patients were married women or single women in stable relationships, but many single women faced their predicament alone, without help from partner or parent.Some evidence is given of valid needs which could not be met by existing N.H.S. facilities.
一项针对3000例意外怀孕情况的调查揭示了两个主要群体,他们在年龄、婚姻状况和避孕措施使用方面存在差异。未采取避孕措施导致了三分之二的怀孕情况。超过半数的患者是已婚妇女或处于稳定关系的单身女性,但许多单身女性独自面对困境,得不到伴侣或父母的帮助。有证据表明,现有国民医疗服务体系(N.H.S.)设施无法满足一些合理需求。
