Pregnancy decision-making of legal minors (17 and younger) and legal adults is compared on the basis of interview data. Minors are found to be less likely than adults to anticipate consultation with a professional regarding the pregnancy, and more likely than adults to perceive decisions about pregnancy disposition and contraception as being "externally" determined. Implications of these differences are considered.
基于访谈数据,对法定未成年人(17岁及以下)和法定成年人的怀孕决策进行了比较。结果发现,与成年人相比,未成年人不太可能预期就怀孕问题咨询专业人士,而且比成年人更有可能认为怀孕处置和避孕的决定是由“外部”因素决定的。文中考虑了这些差异的影响。
