In Sweden, contraceptive methods for birth control are readily available, but one in four pregnancies was legally terminated during the period from 1975 to 1990. Our purpose in conducting the present study was to describe young women's choices and use of contraceptive methods and their attitudes to abortion. The participants were 305 Swedish women ages 23-29 years. Eighty-eight percent of the women were using some contraceptive method. The most common method was hormonal (43%), followed by a barrier method (22%). The women considered that abortion should not be used as a method of birth control and that the fact that a pregnancy is unintended is not a sufficient reason for terminating it. An acceptable reason, they thought, for a woman to have an abortion is the woman's present situation, in particular her social situation. The women were aware that the use of contraceptive methods gives them the chance to choose if and when they wish to have children.
在瑞典，用于节育的避孕方法很容易获得，但在1975年至1990年期间，四分之一的怀孕被合法终止。我们开展本研究的目的是描述年轻女性对避孕方法的选择和使用情况以及她们对堕胎的态度。参与者为305名年龄在23至29岁之间的瑞典女性。88%的女性正在使用某种避孕方法。最常用的方法是激素避孕法（43%），其次是屏障避孕法（22%）。这些女性认为堕胎不应被用作节育方法，意外怀孕这一事实并非终止妊娠的充分理由。她们认为，女性堕胎的一个可接受的理由是其当前状况，尤其是社会状况。这些女性意识到使用避孕方法使她们有机会选择是否以及何时想要孩子。
